Employment Regulation

The UK government has set out many employment regulations to ensure that neither employers nor employees are at a disadvantage at the workplace. The employment laws incorporate all kinds of employment regulations from working hours to minimum wage and holiday compensation to discrimination laws. The rules and regulations dealing with the obligations of employment are difficult to understand by both employers and employees. As solicitors dealing with employment issues tend to represent either one of the parties, their approach needs to change dependent on which side they act for. Therefore, the government has set up independent advisory bodies which have experience in handling claims by both business owners and employees. This helps in reaching resolution in common areas of employment applicable to both employers and employees, such as disciplinary matters, unfair dismissals, performance issues, and absenteeism, among others. These bodies include the Employment Tribunal Service, ACAS, the Health and Safety Executive and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), which is responsible for many employee rights issues, and also regulates employment agencies. If you wish to seek the advice of a regulator on an employment related issue, you must have to speak to a lawyer who can advise on which body to approach and how to do it, and that is where Legal Compare can assist you.
