Employment Law and Unfair Dismissal needs to be looked at from two points of view. The first – employers and the second – employees. Issues such as remuneration, termination payment, employment policies and human resources management impact everybody in the employment sphere. It is important, whether you are employer or employee, that you make the right decisions throughout your employment whether it be at interview, in contract negotiations to managing performance or termination. In order to achieve the right balance in an employment context it is important that your adviser not only understands employment law but has the necessary skills to cover these issues which are important to you whether they be commercial, industrial or individual.
