Employment Terms and Conditions

Central to all relationships between employers and employees are the terms and conditions of employment entered into between the two parties.

Unfair Dismissal

An employee who has not been dismissed properly may have the right to claim compensation for an unfair or discriminatory dismissal, may be owed a redundancy payment, or may have the right to be paid for an unfulfilled contractual notice period.
