Employment Law
Employment law is an area of constant change, not simply as a result of new statutes but primarily because of a continual flow of Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions, court cases and tax changes.
We advise both employers and employees. Indeed, employees increasingly seek legal advice, not just as a result of acrimonious partings but when negotiating or renegotiating contracts of employment and service agreements.
The firm can provide a full employment law service:
- Drafting Service Agreements for executives and directors
- "Template" Contracts for employees
- Advice on stock-options and other elements of remuneration
- Confidentiality agreements and restrictive covenants
- Advising on dismissals, grievance procedures, disciplinary measures
- Redundancy
- Court and Tribunal appearances
Personal Service Companies: IR35
HM Revenue & Customs, motivated by a desire to maximise tax revenue, deemed contractors working through personal service companies to be employees where they work for just one employer. That raises particular issues: must employers put such former contractors on the payroll; can contracts be phrased to protect some of the flexibility that employers (and employees) previously enjoyed; in which circumstances could a contractual rather than an employment situation be preserved?
