Employment
Employment disputes leading to litigation are time consuming, expensive and stressful, whatever the outcome. They can also cause significant damage to reputation and to relationships with customers and suppliers and invariably affect productivity and progress.
Our mediators have long experience in employment disputes and offer a personalised mediation process to deal with even the most sensitive and challenging cases, including those involving stress, sickness and disability. Typically the areas of dispute include:
- Unfair dismissal
- Constructive dismissal
- Part-time working, flexible working, maternity/paternity rights and parental leave
- Redundancy, compromise agreements, restrictive covenants
- Harassment, victimisation, discrimination and bullying in the workplace
- Whistleblowing
- Multiple claims
- Senior executive and board level disputes
- Remuneration and performance related pay and bonuses
- Restructuring, transitions and TUPE
Our experienced employment mediators can offer a tailor-made approach to resolving complex disputes including those which involve multiple claimants or union members. The benefits for employers and employees alike include:
- dealing sympathetically and effectively with disputes that go to the heart of people's lives and well-being
- confidential and individual solutions
- early resolution increasing management resources, reducing organisational distraction and reducing the risk of additional stress, sickness or absence from work
