When should I get employment solicitor contract dispute advice about a disagreement over my employment contract?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

Consider speaking to an employment solicitor if your employer disputes pay, hours, notice, holiday, bonus terms or post-termination restrictions, particularly before signing a variation or resigning. Keep the contract, staff handbook, relevant emails and payslips, and raise the issue through your employer’s grievance process where appropriate. An employment solicitor regulated by the SRA can explain your options, including negotiation or a tribunal claim, based on the facts. Employment tribunal time limits can be short—often three months less one day—so check ACAS Early Conciliation and the current guidance on GOV.UK promptly.
