What Is An Employment Dispute?
An employment dispute refers to a disagreement or argument that can occur in a variety of workplace situations. Disagreements can result from misunderstanding or miscommunication, although some may be the result of deliberate action. In each individual case it’s important to solve the problem lawfully.
Being involved in an employment dispute can be a tense, demanding experience whichever side of the disagreement you’re on. It’s important to seek legal guidance as soon as possible and to provide your advocate with all of the relevant documentation to help to prove your dispute.
Employment Dispute Examples Include:
- Unfair dismissal from the company you work for
- Discrimination claims
- Verbal, physical harassment (e.g. bullying, victimisation etc.)
- Redundancy and company reorganisation
- Maternity or paternity concerns
- Problems with working hours or contracts
How Does Manx Employment Law Handle Dismissal Claims?
An employee can claim that they have been unfairly dismissed in the Isle of Man Employment Tribunal. This is different to the position in England and Wales where both dismissal claims (unfair and constructive) and breach of contract claims can be brought to the Employment Tribunal.
