Legal support throughout the employment relationship
Contracts and working conditions
An employment dispute is assessed by looking at the real working relationship, not only the title of a written agreement. The agreed terms, pay, working time, and changes made in practice are reviewed together.
Guidance is provided to both employees and employers on documenting and managing the employment relationship clearly and lawfully.
Dismissal and financial claims
When employment ends, the documents, timing, method of termination, and any financial claims need review. Prompt advice is important because some employment claims are subject to specific time limits.
Claims for unpaid wages, overtime, or other pay require contracts, payslips, bank records, work schedules, messages, and any other available evidence.
Negotiation or proceedings
Depending on the objective and evidence, direct negotiation, recourse to the competent authority, or court proceedings may be considered. The strategy is organised around a practical result and preservation of evidence.
Frequently asked questions
What should be checked after a dismissal?
The contract, termination documents, date, pay, any notice, and related communications. Review should be prompt because deadlines may apply.
How can unpaid wages be documented?
Useful evidence includes the contract, payslips, bank deposits, schedules or attendance records, messages, and other documents showing work and payments.
Can the matter be resolved without court proceedings?
Yes. Where appropriate, negotiation or another competent process may be pursued before or instead of a court claim.
