"Prevention is better than cure" is a phrase that works as well in dentistry as it does in relation to employment law!
With employment law becoming ever more complicated it is essential for our dental practice clients, regardless of their size, to have robust employment contracts and policies in place from the outset. As well as setting out clear parameters for everybody working in your practice it also minimises your exposure to potentially costly claims whilst also making it easier to manage disciplinary and grievance issues if they arise.
Within the dental team we have specialist employment lawyers and HR advisers who are familiar with the unique requirements of the dental sector and can provide you with bespoke staff contracts, staff handbooks, equal opportunities policies, disciplinary and grievance procedures, along withsound commercial guidance as to how best to implement these within your practice. However, even with the best plans in place, staff issues can still arise and, if that happens our team can work alongside you to resolve the problems amicably. If necessary we can negotiate settlement in your best interests orrepresent you at tribunal.
We know that our clients are often conscious of legal costs running away with them. To remove that concern, our dental team operate on a fixed cost basis that is set out in a clear and transparent way from the outset. If you would like to have a free no obligation discussion with one of our team on how we can assist your practice then please complete our enquiry form and one of our team will contact you directly.
