Employment Law Solicitors –a helping hand

Employment law solicitors in Manchester help you to know your rights as a worker in any organization. One of the main factors affecting many employees is redundancy. Redundancy bumping is when someone’s job is taken away but they take over your job. Some of the factors that an employee should consider before doing this are if there is a vacancy, if both employees have served for a good period of time, the difference in remuneration between the two jobs, qualifications and how different the two jobs are.

It does not matter what took place and led to you being redundant. You still have some rights one of them being a right to explanation as to why you were laid off. Before being dismissed you have a right to consult to see if there are any other alternatives that can be considered. You should also be given a notice of payment and you can even take time off and be paid. If any of your rights are ignored then you have a case and have employment law solicitors represent your interests.

For the Employment tribunal UK to consider you eligible for compensation there are some conditions that you should meet. The first thing to be looked at is the contract you had with the employer. The reason for being dismissed must be one that falls under the category of redundancy. You should also have worked as an employee and if you were over sixteen during hiring, you should have worked for two years.
