Breach of Employment Claims

An employment contract outlines the terms and conditions governing the relationship between an employer and an employee, defining the responsibilities of both parties. These terms can be in writing or agreed orally, and may be explicitly stated or implied into the contract. As a legally binding document, a breach of the contract by either party can result in legal action.

Our dedicated employment solicitors are here to help. We understand that navigating complex legal issues can be stressful, and we’ll work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected.

How We Can Help

Breaches of employment contracts can occur in several ways:

  • Employer Breaches: Examples include failing to pay agreed wages, benefits, or holiday pay, or violating implied terms such as mutual trust and confidence.
  • Employee Breaches: These can range from minor infractions to serious misconduct. The response to a breach will depend on its severity, from informal discussions to formal disciplinary actions, potentially leading to dismissal.

We provide comprehensive legal services to employees facing breaches of their employment contracts, including:

  • Assessing whether your employer has violated any terms of your contract, either express or implied.
  • Offering guidance on the appropriate response, including potential claims for constructive dismissal if your employer’s actions constitute a serious breach.
  • Assisting with disputes arising from post-employment contract breaches, such as when an employer attempts to enforce restrictive covenants, like non-compete clauses.

Legal Protection

It’s important to act quickly if you believe your employment contract has been breached. We can guide you through the process, helping to resolve the issue before it escalates into formal legal proceedings. By seeking our expert advice early, you can protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome.
