Areas of employment law we cover
Brady Kilroy offers a bespoke service focussed on the needs of our clients. If you have experienced any of the following or have questions, seeking advice from our specialist solicitors may be beneficial.
What does an employment law solicitor do for you?
Employment law is a complex and dynamic area of law with legislation, regulations, employer and employee rights and obligations constantly changing and being updated.
Although taking legal action may not be your first preference in dealing with an issue at work or with a former employer, sometimes it is the only option.
Your specialist solicitor can assess your case and can give you practical advice on whether or not you may have a case to pursue. Your employment solicitor will also give you guidance on how best to proceed tailored to your individual situation.
Steps in legal termination
Employers must show fair grounds for dismissing you and must follow fair procedures if they no longer wish to employ you, otherwise your dismissal may be deemed to be an unfair dismissal.
‘Fair grounds’ for dismissal may arise from one of the following:
Your contract of employment may set out circumstances where you may be dismissed from your employment, such as instances that would be considered gross misconduct.
The employer must set out the standards that are expected of the employee at the outset of the employment.
If there are issues with the competence of an employee, the employer must first explain the issue to the employee and set out the steps they need to take to improve, as well as a reasonable timeframe for the improvements. If there is no improvement, then the employer may give a ‘final warning’ explaining clearly that dismissal may ensue.

Your employer must also have disciplinary procedures in place. Where there is an issue with the conduct of an employee, these procedures must include informing the employee about disciplinary issues, giving them informal warnings, followed by a written warning leading to dismissal where the issues persist.
Your employer may dismiss you on the spot without notice for serious misconduct, although you may be able to challenge whether the dismissal was justified.
You must bring a case for unfair dismissal within 6 months of the dismissal in most cases, unless you can show that there is ‘reasonable cause’ for a delay. In this instance you may have another 6 months to bring a case.
