Unfair Dismissals and Termination of Employment

Losing your job can be a distressing experience, especially if you believe the dismissal was unfair. Our employment lawyers in Aberdeen specialise in handling cases of unfair dismissal, providing guidance on your rights and helping you seek justice. We will assess your situation, advise on the best course of action, and represent you in any proceedings necessary to challenge the termination of your employment.

Unfair Redundancy Procedures

Redundancy can be a legitimate reason for dismissal, but employers must follow fair procedures when making employees redundant. If you believe your redundancy was handled unfairly or without proper consultation, our solicitors in Aberdeen can assist you in challenging the decision and seeking appropriate compensation.

Constructive Dismissal

Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee feels forced to resign due to their employer’s conduct. This can include significant changes to job roles, bullying, or breaches of contract. Our Aberdeen-based employment law specialists can help you determine if you have a case for constructive dismissal and guide you through the process of making a claim.

Settlement Agreements

Settlement agreements are legally binding contracts that outline the terms of an employee’s departure from a company. These agreements often include compensation and confidentiality clauses. Our employment lawyers in Aberdeen can review settlement agreements to ensure they protect your interests and negotiate terms that are favourable to you.

Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace is unlawful and can take many forms, including age, gender, race, disability, or sexual orientation discrimination. If you’ve experienced discrimination at work in Aberdeen, our solicitors are here to help. We provide expert advice on how to address discriminatory practices and pursue claims for compensation when necessary.

Bullying and Harassment

Bullying and harassment can create a toxic work environment and have serious impacts on mental health and wellbeing. Our employment law team in Aberdeen is experienced in handling cases involving workplace bullying and harassment. We will support you in taking appropriate action against perpetrators and seeking remedies for any harm suffered.

Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

Navigating disciplinary or grievance procedures can be challenging without proper guidance. Our solicitors in Aberdeen provide advice on handling these processes effectively, ensuring your rights are protected throughout. Whether you’re facing disciplinary action or raising a grievance against an employer, we can assist you every step of the way.

Breach of Contract

Employment contracts set out the terms of your working relationship with your employer. If these terms are breached—such as not receiving agreed pay or benefits—our employment lawyers in Aberdeen can help you take action to enforce your rights and seek compensation for any losses incurred.

Restrictive Covenants

Restrictive covenants are clauses within employment contracts that limit an employee’s actions post-employment, such as working for competitors or soliciting clients. If you’re facing issues related to restrictive covenants in Aberdeen, our solicitors can provide advice on their enforceability and help resolve any disputes arising from these clauses.

TUPE Rights

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) protect employees’ rights when their employer changes due to business transfers or service provision changes. Our team in Aberdeen is well-versed in TUPE regulations and can advise on how these laws affect your employment rights during such transitions.

Unlawful Deduction from Wages

If your employer has made deductions from your wages without consent or legal justification, this may constitute an unlawful deduction from wages. Our employment law specialists in Aberdeen can help you recover any money owed and ensure fair treatment moving forward.
