A contract of service covers the terms under which an individual is employed, typically labelled an employee arrangement, including duties, pay, holidays and notice. A solicitor practising this area drafts or negotiates employment contracts, reviews terms for fairness and compliance, and advises on issues such as dismissal, disciplinary procedures, redundancy and breaches of contract. They also advise on changes to terms, TUPE transfers, and potential claims arising from misclassification or breach of the contract of employment.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the complexities of employment terms, notices and changes to duties, ensuring compliance with the contract of service, relevant employment law, and employment procedural requirements. They deal with issues around liability for breaches, and represent or advise on disputes in the appropriate forum, whether in negotiations, disputes over termination, breach of contract, or employment rights.
