Employment Related Issues

No matter what line of business you are in employee legislation will, at some stage, have an effect on your business. 

Legislation is regularly amended, new rulings continually affect how legislation is interpreted and meanwhile you may have a potential employee situation on your hands. These are all very real distractions from the efficient running of your business!

With this in mind Mason Hayes+Curran has a dedicated employment group to assist you and ensure that your interests are protected in accordance with the law.

Understandably, you may be wary of employment-related matters and are concerned that expensive legal proceedings are just around the corner.  Whilst it is true that contentious employment matters do arise from time to time (and we can assist you with this if it does occur), it is much better for you and more cost effective for your business if you take proactive advice now and set up appropriate employment policies and practices in advance. 

The employment group advise many clients and can advise you on non-contentious employment issues, such as developing rigorous employment policies and practices, health+safety considerations, information+consulatation issues, employment related immigration matters and occupational stress.

Similarly, if your company is buying or selling another business, employee considerations need to be taken seriously.  In this regard we can support your transactions on issues such as the transfer of undertakings and related issues such as conducting employee-related due diligence exercises and drafting and negotiating warranties and indemnities to protect you.

In today’s full employment economy, staff retention plays a vital role.  Mason Hayes+Curran can provide you with guidance on employee benefits issues, such as the legal and tax aspects of employee share incentive schemes.
