For businesses, ensuring your employees’ rights is of paramount importance. But it can be a huge challenge in an ever-diversifying workplace. And with new changes in immigrant and migrant employment rights just around the corner, it’s more crucial than ever to make sure you’re confident in your procedures and policies. Additionally, patterns of work are changing quickly, with new rules on parental leave, and flexible and off-site working. Fitchett & Co can offer easy telephone advice to answer questions on all these matters. We can also provide in-person client meetings if desired, at our Basingstoke office or one of our other locations.

For day-to-day business operations, we draft contracts and settlement agreements, provide HR and industrial relations advice, and review employment terms and conditions. For grievance and disciplinary advice and arbitration, Fitchett & Co’s aim is always to seek sensible conclusions for all parties. If required, our team is able to undertake work for companies as well as individuals within the High Court, the County Court, and Employment Tribunals.

When it comes to approaching big corporate changes, Fitchett & Co can guide you through complex HR transitions toward a clear conclusion. Corporate restructure, mergers and acquisitions can all churn up questions of redundancy and severance packages, as well as Transfer of Undertakings (TUPE) liabilities. Administering workforce change is an important part of our service, both for employers and employees. Organised employee collectives may have additional legal needs in contractual disputes. We can advocate on your behalf in these negotiations.
