Are you actually getting the hours, pay and holidays your contract guarantees? My client was given short hours despite no short-time working clause, and struggled to cover basic costs. 👀 I stepped in. She was promised backdated pay. ✅ Sound familiar? You know where to come.

Completing an ET1 can feel overwhelming. In this video, I explain how to properly structure your claim and why clearly identifying the legal basis of your claim is important. If you need help setting it out clearly from the start, get in touch 🤝 #ET1 youtu.be/FUsYYZB4-zs?si…

@GreenHampshire Thank you for the shout-out! I really appreciate you taking the time to share my post.

Thanks for following @fightyourcorner !

And here’s the biggest issue👇 ⚠️ In my client's case, the same person conducted both the investigation and the disciplinary. That’s not in line with ACAS guidance. Different managers should handle each stage to ensure fairness. Otherwise, the outcome risks being prejudged.

Me: “How did the meeting go?” Client: “I think it was ok… but she said I changed my statement.” She had simply added more explanation.✅ Facing a disciplinary? Know your rights, check the procedure, and gather your evidence.💪 #DisciplinarySupport #KnowYourRights

Thinking of resigning during a disciplinary? Don’t rush! A dismissal can override your resignation and still affect references 📄 Being told “resign or be dismissed” is predetermined and breaches the ACAS Code ❌ Always appeal unfair decisions! #WorkplaceRights #Resignation

I grew up believing that if you keep your head down at work, you’ll be safe. Not always true! A client recently signed a statement they believed was wrong because they were afraid to argue. When another small mistake happened, their employer dismissed them. I fight your corner!

Why we whistleblew & never gave up @JusteanWinter 1 Nurse (Plymouth) 1 Midwife (Wales) Never worked together Both raised patient concerns Both witnessed harm Both whistleblowers Both referred to NMC Both ignored, threatened Both raised grievances Both went down tribunal route Both were let down Still standing Still exposing the corruption We weren’t the problem. We were the warning.

Employment law violations are more common than you think in the UK ⚖️ 1. Unpaid wages 2. Zero-hour contract misuse 3. Unfair redundancy 4. AI & workplace monitoring concerns Knowing your rights is the first step to protecting them. #employmentlaw #ukworkers #knowyourrights

12 signs that indicate you're dealing with a toxic manager:

The damage is done. When you terminate an employee due to performance issues, office politics, or force them to resign by creating a toxic environment — remember this: They will move on. In a few months, they’ll find better opportunities, rebuild their confidence, and thrive elsewhere. But they’ll never forget how you treated them — How you shouted, humiliated, and misunderstood them, simply because your ego got in the way of basic empathy. They might never speak about it. But they’ll carry the scars — silently. Power should never come at the cost of someone’s dignity.

The planned removal of the cap on compensatory awards for unfair dismissal is hugely significant. Currently, the award for a successful unfair dismissal claim is capped at one year's salary or £118k (whichever is the lower). Removing this cap makes it very worthwhile for claimants to pursue claims for higher compensatory awards. This obviously has an impact on claims from high earners, but it goes beyond them. For example, someone in their sixties on £50k per year arguing that the intended to work for at least 5 further years but unlikely to get work - without the cap, they could seek compensation for £250k (5 x £50k). Imagine how Davidson v National Express Limited [2025] EAT 151 might have been reconsidered under an uncapped regime.
