What is employment law for employers?
Employment law helps define the relationship between employers and employees. It provides a framework for acceptable behaviour from both sides.
Employment law includes contract terms and conditions. It also covers health and safety regulations. This law defines safe working conditions. It addresses pay issues like sick pay and the national minimum wage, among other employment areas.
DFA Law’s lawyers provide advice on employment law. We assist employers in understanding what your employees are entitled to.
This depends on factors like working hours and details in the employment contract. A lawyer who specialises in these is called an employment contract lawyer. DFA Law is pleased to offer employment law advice for employers across a wide variety of employment law claims.
Recent matters include:
- Acting for large UK based companies, including hotel chains and construction companies, negotiating director exit packages.
- Settlement of a large disability discrimination claim on behalf of an established hospitality group.
- Advising HR management teams in SMEs.
- Appearing before employment tribunals and the employment appeal tribunal on behalf of clients.
- Acting for a private limited company defending a complex unfair dismissal claim arising out of the TUPE regulations.
- Advising SMEs on redundancy procedures.

What is a settlement agreement in employment law?
A settlement agreement helps resolve workplace disputes between employers and employees in one document. This includes issues like ending an employment contract.
Typically, they include a final payment from the employer to the employee. This payment is for giving up the employee’s right to claim unfair dismissal. It also covers other legal claims against the employer. A legal requirement like this allows both parties to receive legal advice before signing the document.
