Employment Law can be complex. It’s no surprise then that many employers find this area of law particularly troublesome. Legislation is constantly changing along with associated case law. Government policies can also change direction, sometimes overnight, and can completely transform the employment framework in which employers operate. There’s no better example of this then the latest proposals by the Conservative party to change the rules relating to an employees rights to take any dispute to an industrial tribunal: employees currently need to have worked for an employer for at least a year before they can take their case to a tribunal for constructive dismissal. This is now set to revert to two years, in order to encourage more small businesses to take on additional staff. Is it any wonder employers are confused and bewildered by what appears to be constantly revolving legislation? That’s why they need the expertise of employment law specialists like Jones Gough.
