Employment Law Services
Workplace issues can be stressful and fast-moving, whether you’re facing redundancy, negotiating an exit, or disputing a dismissal. At Pomphreys, our employment law team provides clear, practical advice to both employees and employers across Wishaw and the surrounding area.
We offer support with everything from reviewing contracts and settlement agreements to representing you in disputes. Our goal is always to resolve matters fairly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your life or business. Whether you’re protecting your rights or managing your legal obligations, we’re here to help.
UNFAIR DISMISSAL
If you’ve been dismissed from your job and feel it was unfair, you may be entitled to compensation or reinstatement. Our team can quickly assess your situation, advise you on your legal rights, and guide you through the available options, including internal appeals or pursuing a claim in an employment tribunal.
We’ll explain whether your dismissal was likely to be fair in law and help you gather the necessary evidence to support your claim. Time limits apply in employment cases, so it’s essential to seek advice as soon as possible. We provide practical and realistic advice to help you make informed decisions about how to proceed.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS
A settlement agreement (formerly known as a compromise agreement) is a legally binding contract in which an employee waives their right to bring specific claims, typically in exchange for a payment or benefit. These agreements are common when employment ends on agreed terms.
If you’ve been offered a settlement agreement, we’ll review it with you, explain its terms, and advise whether the terms are fair. Employers are usually required to contribute to your legal fees for this purpose. We can also negotiate changes on your behalf to ensure your rights and interests are fully protected.
REDUNDANCY
Redundancy can be a difficult experience — but employers must follow fair procedures and offer proper compensation where appropriate. If you’re facing redundancy, we’ll explain your rights, check if the process is lawful, and help you challenge it if needed.
If you’re an employer planning redundancies, we can guide you through the correct legal procedures to avoid costly claims. We’ll help you manage the process sensitively and in line with your obligations. Whether you’re an employee or employer, we aim to provide clear advice and practical solutions.
