EMPLOYMENT-LAW-EXPERT

… is the website of a charity whose objects are to advance the education of the public in the subject of employment law as well as to provide general employment law advice to those in need. The founder and director of Employment-Law-Expert is John M. Wright. Please click HERE for a profile of John M. Wright.

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 information under the various headings on this website.

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 this address, (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) the provision of employment law information to those in need.

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.

DISCLAIMER: the information contained on this website is designed to provide general information only. It does not constitute the giving of legal or professional advice to any particular person who has any particular employment law problem in any particular situation.
