My Employment Rights

Often, in practice, employees are at a disadvantage when it comes to understanding their employment rights. Employers have access to many resources, including HR specialists and legal advisers, to inform and guide them on employment law issues. Generally, employees do not and are at a significant disadvantage. Even more frustratingly, at the point that the employee needs advice, it is when their employment is at risk or has been terminated. This is the very time when money is tight and the cost of obtaining advice through traditional channels is simply too much, particularly in the current economic climate.

Often, in practice, employees end up incurring costs simply to discover that they have no claim whatsoever, or they pursue a worthless claim without guidance, which is a waste of everyone's time. Equally, many good cases are never pursued, simply because the individual does not have the confidence that their complaints are valid.

The aim of My Employment Rights is to even up these imbalances and help employees to get to know their rights and to find out if they have a potential claim, without incurring cost.
