Employment Law Solicitors for clients in Sussex including Brighton, Uckfield and Seaford
Employment law is the fastest-growing area of legislation, affecting virtually every aspect of life within the workplace. Not just a set of rules for ‘hiring and firing’; it’s about protecting rights and defining responsibilities.
Through our specialist teams, we can assist HR departments, and provide employment law and HR advice to businesses, large or small. Whether taking on staff for the first time or undertaking a large scale restructuring process Rix & Kay can advise on best practice.
Right From The Start
Rix & Kay can assist with drafting employee handbooks, drawing up contracts and other agreements. Help is also on hand for developing policies such as health and safety, equal opportunities, grievance and disciplinary and vehicle. Having these in place can prevent many common employment issues from becoming problems later on.
Rix & Kay also offers an employment health check to larger, established businesses.
Growing Responsibilities
Taking over or merging with another business can leave management and staff facing big, sometimes life-changing issues like relocation, recruitment or redundancy.
Rix & Kay provides expert, independent advice to safeguard the interests of both employers and employees, ensuring a fair outcome.
Selling The Business
Rix & Kay provides legal support needed to make sure a client’s business complies with current employment law legislation. This is essential when selling a company.
Fighting Your Corner
Disputes are increasingly being referred to employment tribunals. Rix & Kay can help whatever the case being brought, including unfair or constructive dismissal, age, sexual or racial discrimination.
Some employers may wish to subscribe to Rix & Kay’s pre-planned insurance-backed scheme, covering business against potential employment tribunal damages.
Keeping You Informed
Rix & Kay holds regular employment law seminars for businesses of all types and sizes. Bespoke, internal sessions can be arranged on request.
For a small monthly fee, businesses can have access to a telephone helpline for immediate advice on any employment law issues. Contracts and handbooks are updated when new legislation is brought in.
