Frequently Asked Questions about Franklins Solicitors: Employment Law Solicitors in Bicester

What should be included in an employment contract?

Key clauses are job title and duties, pay and benefits, place of work, hours, holiday entitlement, notice period, and disciplinary/grievance procedures. Our solicitors can draft contracts or review existing ones to ensure they comply with regulations.

Can employment contracts be changed?

Yes, contracts can be changed but require consent from both employer and employee. Our lawyers can advise on varying contracts, including altering pay, duties or other terms.

I’ve been offered a job but have concerns about the contract. Can you help?

Yes. We’ll review the full contract and highlight any issues or clauses that require clarification before you sign. This helps ensure the contract protects your rights as an employee.

What rights do employees have in a redundancy situation?

There are consultation requirements based on the number of proposed redundancies. Employees are entitled to notice pay and may qualify for redundancy pay based on age and length of service. Unfair selection criteria can make dismissals unfair.

How does a settlement agreement work?

It is a legally binding contract that settles an employment dispute, usually for a financial payment. In return, the employee agrees not to pursue legal action against the employer. We can negotiate favourable settlement terms.

What claims can be settled by a settlement agreement?

Most employment-related issues can form the basis of a settlement including discrimination, unfair dismissal, equal pay, harassment claims and so on.
