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.
