Machine Bearings Ltd had employed Kevin Smith as a machine operator for two months when they decided to dismiss him. They felt that his work rate was too slow and he seemed to lose his concentration completely in the afternoon.

Here at Davis Blank Furniss Solicitors our employment lawyers can help smaller businesses avoid a failure to comply with the detail of the complex framework of employment law. A failure to manage HR issues correctly, in addition to being potentially financially significant, may also lead to major time and resource demands on business managers and owners.
In an environment where employment law has become all pervasive and the number of new regulations appear endless it is easy for employers to begin to believe that whatever they wish to do there will be an employment law against it. Ensuring that our employment lawyers review and advise on your existing HR processes, procedures, handbooks and employment contracts is a great way to start ensuring that future employment law issues and business risk is minimised.
The Employment Law Team at Davis Blank Furniss Solicitors are qualified specialists and we work in partnership with our clients by providing strategic and pragmatic advice that will help them achieve their aims and successfully manage their businesses. Before embarking on a new acquisition, reorganisation, or business transfer it makes sense to run proposals past our employment lawyers to ensure that all HR issues are recognised and the legal rights of individuals and the financial implications that follow are understood and built into your operational plans. Similarly, before taking action on an executive termination, compromise agreements, dismissal or downsizing ensure that our employment lawyers have had the opportunity to identify employment law issues and advise on the correct course of action to ensure compliance with employment legislation.
Whether you are in dispute now, wish to have the right procedures and policies in place in order to protect your company in the future, or simply want some help and guidance with a disciplinary, grievance or performance procedure so as to avoid Tribunal Claims our qualified employment team are at hand to advise you. A great way to start resolving issues is to contact us by telephone or e-mail via the Business Law Advice Service.
