Employment Law
Employment Law is continually advancing and progressing in line with social and economic requirements. Timothy J. Hegarty & Son Solicitors are well positioned to give advice to individuals on their employment rights arising out of all areas of employment legislation.
This can include simple matters such as certain aspects of their contracts of employment, to more serious issues such as unfair dismissals or pension disputes. Our firm has considerable experience in areas of commercial litigation, so we have the ability to deal with all types of employment disagreements.
We recognise that the employer and employee relationship can often become acrimonious when disputes arise. We are therefore aware of the importance of guiding clients through the areas of employment law, particularly when it involves claims before the Labour Relations Commission or the Employment Appeals Tribunal. Such claims can range from unfair dismissals or constructive dismissals to claims for the recovery of wages or salary or claims relating to equality in the work place.
We provide a comprehensive service to both Employers and Employees in areas such as:
- Contracts of Employment/Terms of Employment/Employee Handbooks
- Redundancy Claims – for employers or employees
- Employment Compromise or Settlement Agreements
- Dealing with employees on long term sick leave
- Legal advice on election procedures for redundancy
- Employment Legislation
- Service Agreements
- Advice on employment rights/requirements
- Dispute Resolution
- Representation at Employment Appeals Tribunal
- Representation at Labour Relations Commission or Rights Commissioner Hearings
- District Court/Circuit Court/High Court claims
- Equality Claims
Timothy J. Hegarty & Son Solicitors have the ability to work with larger employers to advise on how to structure employment policies and workplace procedures. We have also worked with multination employers in making the relevant preparations for downsizing their staff. Through our wealth of experience in all areas of employment law (as well as litigation and commercial law) our firm is ideally situated to offer their high level and professional services to employers and employees in all matters.
