Employers .

Ensuring that you make employment law work for you is essential, harnessing the protection it provides to your business whilst also avoiding the traps it lays out for the unwary.

There’s nothing more personal in business that an employment relationship and employment law is the ever-changing rock on which that relationship stands.

When your staff are working well, you can build on this solid foundation to achieve success. However, when relationships sour and reputations are at stake, employment disputes can drain the goodwill of the most well-meaning employer.

As a result, it’s more important than ever that your managers understand the risks of any particular course of action. You will then be well-placed to protect your organisation from any immediate threats and put measures in place to deflect those which might arise in the future.

Mundays’ Employment team provides advice to meet your commercial and strategic objectives. We won’t tell you what you can’t do, but identify the most appropriate course of action for your organisation from a range of options that gets you from where you are to where you want to be. By involving us at an early stage in any employment matter, we can guide you down the best pathways, delivering positive outcomes wherever possible, limiting your potential liabilities, minimising risk and saving you time and expense.
