Familiarizing yourself with employment law will prove to be valuable for any employee working for a company. If you are aware of your rights and responsibilities as an employee, then you can protect yourself from any unjust treatment that may arise.

There are some reasons why your company can dismiss you and there are reasons which they cannot use. For example, they can dismiss you on reasons of redundancy which entitles some employees to redundancy pay provided they meet certain criteria. However, they cannot dismiss you for reasons of childbirth or pregnancy.

You cannot be discriminated against for reasons of age, gender, disability, religion or race at the workplace. If you are, then these are also violations of employment laws. If you feel that you are being harassed or if you are not being allowed to take the required number of sick or vacation leaves, then there is also a violation of your rights as an employee.

If you think you have been unfairly dismissed from your job or have been treated unfairly at work, then you may want to consult with employment law solicitors. Make sure that the employment lawyer you choose has undergone the appropriate employment law training. Employment law attorneys can help you determine if you have yourself a strong case that should be pursued.

Employment law attorneys may also take on your case on a no win no fee basis. If you do not qualify for legal aid but cannot afford the lawyer fees, you can ask if these employment law solicitors will still take on your case under these terms. With a no win no fee arrangement, employment law solicitors will receive a basic fee and a success fee, as well as any other expenses that may be incurred only if he wins your case. If he loses, then you are still responsible for any external fees incurred such as medical report or police report fees.
