If you have a new business or you are employing people for the first time then there may have been some changes to employment law that you are not aware of. An employment law solicitor will make sure that you are aware of any recent or additional changes to the law because this will help you to avoid potentially expensive employer/employee disputes.
As a new employer you may be aware that for a good few years there has been a national minimum wage in this country and that there are different rates for under 18s, 18-22 year olds and those over that age. Your employment law solicitor will be able to keep you informed on the finer details of this ruling. You may also be aware that it is no longer compulsory for women to retire at the age of 60 and they can choose to stay in employment until 65 or even later. Recent changes to employment law, as your employment law solicitor will tell you mean that it is now illegal to discriminate against employees on the basis of their age.
Some employers require their employees to wear a uniform or to dress in a particular way for work. While it is not illegal to have dress and look policies, you should consult your employment law solicitor on this because it could be, nonetheless, a potential problem area. The new coalition government has granted extra paternity leave to fathers of babies born after 3rd April 2011. The ruling states that if a mother returns to work with some of her maternity leave still due, the father can then take that leave and receive the payment.
Your employment law solicitor will be able to tell you that it is unlawful to discriminate against an employee on the basis of their ethnic origin, even if that discrimination is meant in the employee's best interests. The European court has ruled that motive in discrimination cases is not applicable and discrimination is discrimination under the terms of the Act.
You may be wondering why you should go to the expense of hiring an employment law solicitor. The fact is that employment law can be a minefield, even for experienced employers, and if you want to avoid a potentially expensive employment tribunal, then you need legal advice and the ongoing help of an employment law solicitor.
