Employment Tribunal
We provide advice and representation to employers needing guidance and assistance for internal proceedings (disciplinary or grievance) or those looking to defend action in a Court or Employment Tribunal.
If you embark on disciplinary proceedings against an employee you must ensure such proceedings are in compliance with the ACAS Code of Practice this will include:
- Setting out the allegations against the employee in writing
- Carry out an investigation and provide the employee with the opportunity to reply.
- If disciplinary proceedings are to follow, you must notify the employee of such hearing date.
Some disciplinary proceedings will result in the dismissal of a member of staff and unfortunately, this can often lead to the member of staff threatening legal action against the business. Parker Arrenberg Solicitors can assist you prior to dismissing any staff by advising you on how to ensure you comply with the ACAS Code of Conduct and of course advise if such intended dismissal is fair and lawful therefore reducing the risk of an unfair dismissal claim being brought against your business.

- redundancy pay
- notice of termination of employment
- pay statements
