ACAS advice versus paid employment law help in Glasgow

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 Glasgow employers begins, and it is the line to check when you compare the quotes on this page.

Tribunal claims from Glasgow

Claims brought by Glasgow staff are normally heard at Glasgow (Employment Tribunals Scotland). 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 engineering, financial services, public sector, ask for a comparable employer matter too.
