Employment law advice for Cardiff employers

Locally, retained employer-side cover runs £180-£450 a month bundled with HR support, and project advice £600-£1,100 a day. The providers below all cover Cardiff and Wales; where a firm is headquartered here it is usually cheaper to get on site for a hearing or an investigation meeting.

ACAS advice versus paid employment law help in Cardiff

The ACAS employer advice line is free and useful for process questions: consultation timescales, written particulars, how to run a fair disciplinary. It will not read your contracts, draft a settlement agreement, judge whether this particular exit is defensible, or represent you. That is where paid employment law help for Cardiff employers begins, and it is the line to check when you compare the quotes on this page.

Tribunal claims from Cardiff

Claims brought by Cardiff staff are normally heard at Cardiff. Ask every provider whether attendance there is inside the fee, who actually appears, whether preparation time is capped, and if cover is insured, what the excess is and what voids it. With local employment weighted towards public administration, broadcasting and creative, financial services, ask for a comparable employer matter too.
