Terminations can be a hard process, not just for those on the receiving end, but also for the employer.

At Clinch Long Letherbarrow , we explain the potential remedies that may be available to those who are facing a termination or who have been terminated.

We also offer guidance and assistance to employers to help them establish effective procedures for terminations to minimise their exposure to unfair dismissal claims.

Services for individuals

 
If you are about to be or have been terminated, you should contact us immediately as strict time limits apply to the lodgment of claims. We will review the circumstances of your termination and provide an opinion regarding the options available to you, and give an indication of your prospects for success. If action is warranted, we will develop a strategy to make your case and act for you in your dealings with tribunals or courts.

Services for employers
 
Having a sound procedure in place to manage terminations can help to minimise or eliminate disputes that may arise in relation to them.

Different requirements can apply to different sized organisations and we are experienced in advising employers on:

• Legal requirements in relation to termination
• Procedures that should be followed leading up to termination
• Documentation of termination procedures
• Training of key staff regarding termination procedures
• Communication of organisational policy regarding termination to employees
• Conduct of termination processes including exit interviews.

 
It is good business practice for employees and their managers to have a clear understanding of all of the conditions and procedures under which they work. Having a documented and well-considered termination procedure in place is an important ingredient in workplace protocols.
 
Clinch Long Letherbarrow are able to help employers to avoid disputes in relation to terminations by having good preventive procedures in place. Where disputes do arise however, we act for employers to help mitigate the impact of any claims.
