Questions about employment and labour
Is there a time limit for claims?
Yes — employment claims have strict time limits, so speak to an advocate as soon as possible after a dismissal.
Do you act for employers too?
Yes. Good contracts, policies and fair procedures prevent most claims — and we defend employers when a claim is made.
