A brief guide to employment claims

Any kind of legal process can be daunting and making an employment claim against your current or former bosses can be incredibly intimidating.

But if you have a legitimate claim to make then you should not be afraid of doing so.

"Unfortunately, many people are put-off from making an employment claim as they fear negative repercussions," says Matthew Briggs, CEO of www.claims.com.

"This should not be the case: if your employer has behaved improperly towards you then you are right to make a claim. This could not only help your situation but also prevent others from facing the same problems in future."

Employees are within their rights to make a claim if their employer has behaved improperly, and doing so can hold bosses to account as well as help to ease any stress and worry about the situation.

When can employment claims be made?

Employment claims can be made in a wide variety of situations; the common factor is that the employer has behaved irresponsibly, negligently or unlawfully towards you. It may be that they failed to safeguard your well-being, or perhaps they dealt with pay issues in the wrong way.

Common reasons for filing an employment claim are:


  • Unfair or wrongful dismissal
  • Discrimination
  • Equal pay/other pay claims
  • Bullying/harassment
  • Redundancy
  • Accidents at work
  • Industrial disease
  • Compromise agreements
  • TUPE regulations


How can an employment claim be made?

As with any type of claim, bringing action against an employer can be a tricky and long-winded process, so it is vital to use an expert solicitor.

Their assistance will ensure you get the employment compensation you deserve as quickly as possible with the minimum amount of fuss.

There are many regulations and processes to follow when filing for employment compensation, so if you think you have a claim then get advice straightaway.

Whether you have been the victim of discrimination or bullying in the workplace, believe you have been unfairly or wrongfully dismissed, have queries over pay or redundancy agreements or are worried about your future employment on the buy-out of the company, employment solicitors will advise you on what to do next and guide you through the whole process.

How much compensation will be awarded?

Employment compensation will depend on the situation and the actions of the employer, so speak to a solicitor for an assessment based on your situation.

The payout will take into account all the circumstances and assess how the employer has acted towards you and the effect their behaviour has had on your work life and financial situation.
