Football
Employment law also protects businesses from the impact of troublesome employees. Employee fraud, the act of someone committing fraud against their employer, can be very disruptive and costly to the processes of a business.
The most common form of employee fraud is known as Asset Misappropriation – where an individual may have used their company’s asset for their own use. Fraud can also occur through an employee exercising influence on their colleagues in a corrupt way, from payroll theft, or even manipulating profits.
If you think you are dealing with a fraudulent employee, it is best to sort it out as soon as possible, to stop them in their tracks before they do any more damage. Our friendly and attentive team of professionals can assist you throughout the process of creating a court case, resolving the dispute, or mediating the disagreement.

Bonus Disputes
Most mentions of employee bonuses are accompanied by the term ‘discretion.’ This is inherently vague, but means that the employer is able to decide whether or not their employee qualifies for the salary progression that may feature in their contract.
If an employee believes their employer has not been fair in their judgement, they may feel obliged to raise a dispute. If they do, you are going to need excellent representation, like us at Spencer Churchill, to effectively get to the bottom of the case and resolve the dispute in the best way.

Incentives and Remuneration cases
It is common for contracts to change, particularly when it comes to salary increases, which are more and more common the longer the individual has been at their company. However, sometimes an employer will disagree with an employee when it comes to what they are obligated to receive.
If an individual feels they have a contractual right to receive financial incentives or remuneration from their employer, they may make a case or raise a dispute if this is not fulfilled. Dealing with a similar case and not sure what to do? It’s okay, we are here to help.

Redundancy and Restructuring
Restructuring is sometimes essential in order to grow a business. Maybe you are in the process of merging two companies, you’ve recently realised that your company’s current processes just aren’t working, or even that a specific role isn’t needed anymore. Restructuring will, more often than not, lead to redundancy.
If you have recently made an individual redundant, and they are claiming that it was an unfair dismissal, we can help. We understand the ins and outs of employment law, including redundancy and restructuring claims, meaning that we can help you and your employee mediate, resolve, or litigate the dispute.

Team Moves & Restrictive Covenants
It is always in the best interest of a company to reduce the amount of information that a competitor knows about them. Restrictive covenants limit your employees ability to work for your competitors if they were to ever leave the company. An ex-employee may have a lot of specific company knowledge, so restricting their access to competitors might be in your best interests.
However, sometimes an individual might feel as though the restrictive covenant in their contract is too wide and restrictive, for no just reason. If an ex-employee has challenged their clause, you will need legal representation to help you work through the dispute. That’s exactly where we come in. Spencer Churchill work with companies as they go through restrictive covenant disagreements, aiming always to resolve the dispute in the best way for those involved.

Work Status and The Gig Economy
As the so-called ‘Gig Economy’ rises in popularity, workers are gaining freedom, autonomy, and flexibility when it comes to their jobs.

At Spencer Churchill, we offer expert legal advice to companies navigating the gig economy, aiming to resolve disputes and maintain a positive working relationship. Reach out to us now so that we can do for you exactly what we do best.
