Employment-Law-Expert is a charity that provides United Kingdom employment law information to the public in general and to employees and employers in particular. The information provided on this website is free*.

From 01 April 2008, www.employment-law-expert.co.uk will no longer be giving free initial employment law advice by telephone or email. However, free employment law advice is available from the government-funded service ACAS (telephone 0845-7474747) or from Citizens' Advice Bureaux. The charitable aspect of www.employment-law-expert.co.uk will continue as in the past by providing free UK employment law summaries under the various headings on this website. The full headings are available to download for a small fee.

Being a small independent charity, expenses are payable for specific advice that involves costs and research by an employment lawyer. Likewise, a contribution is payable where preparation and representation at an employment tribunal or the Employment Appeal Tribunal is needed or a settlement is negotiated and, in both instances, compensation is awarded or agreed. Paid-for advice can be obtained by: (1) sending a summary of your employment law query by email to employmentlawexpert@googlemail.com, (2) by return you will be told whether an answer can be provided and, if so, (3) how payment can be made electronically whereupon, (4) once payment is received, your answer will be sent to you.

Financial surpluses in excess of costs and expenses are used for the development of this website and to provide updated employment law information that is free to viewers. Under the Charities Act 2006, the legal status of www.employment-law-expert.co.uk is that of an excepted charity whose purpose is exclusively charitable being (i) the advancement of education and (ii) and to provide updated employment law summaries which are free to viewers.

UK employment law is very complex. It can change from day to day and from week to week according to new judgments and new legislation. Before making or defending a claim, you should always consult an experienced professional who has current specialist knowledge of employment law. Always ask the professional to state what leading or recent case authority he or she is using as a basis for his or her advice. If he or she cannot produce one or more case authorities or established legislative authority, only proceed with your claim or defence if you are willing to accept the risk of losing and possibly paying the costs of your opponent and, in the latter case if your opponent is an employee or worker, compensation too.
