Employee Rights
Employment Law Advocate for Employee Disputes
Employees can find themselves accused of misconduct or serious misconduct, with the result that employees are dismissed from their employment with serious consequences. These can include missing out on certain financial entitlements and not being able to secure new employment. Most employees know they can lodge a personal grievance but they don’t know how to initiate that or what is involved. These processes are easily navigated with an experienced employment law specialist at your side or checking your employment agreements or contracts.

Personal Greivances
If you believe you have grounds for a personal grievance because of an unjustified action against you by your employer, or you have been dismissed or you resigned because you have been forced to resign, call me for advice because I may be able to assist by getting you re-instated or compensation for hurt, humiliation and distress.
In addition to facing an employment investigation, are you also facing a Disciplinary Tribunal under a professional body – e.g. Teachers Council, Nursing Council, Real Estate Agents Authority? The processes followed by these bodies are separate from an employer’s investigation and could have serious consequences including being de-registered. I have a vast experience in dealing with professional bodies in this area, please call me for assistance.
