If your employment contract is at risk or has already been terminated, if you wish to protect your rights, or if you wish to terminate your employment contract and obtain the highest possible compensation, our law firm is here to assist you.
If your employment contract is at risk or has already been terminated, if you wish to protect your rights, or if you wish to terminate your employment contract and obtain compensation, our law firm will assist you throughout the process.
Our assistance ensures that you do not have to face your employer alone and helps you prepare an effective defence, enabling you to respond appropriately and in a timely manner to any action taken against you.
We recommend that you take the following steps as soon as difficulties arise:
It is important to be accompanied at your preliminary dismissal meeting by an authorised person, such as an employee representative or an adviser whose name appears on the list approved by the Prefect of the relevant département. It may also be crucial to respond promptly to written communications from your employer. Our law firm can assist you in drafting these responses.
Our firm can initiate proceedings before the Employment Tribunal (Conseil de prud’hommes) to challenge the grounds for your dismissal and seek payment of any outstanding wages, compensation and statutory employment documents to which you are entitled. The Employment Tribunal has jurisdiction over disputes relating to the performance and termination of individual employment relationships.
Our firm can also confidentially negotiate a settlement concerning the termination of your employment contract in exchange for the payment of a settlement indemnity.
The period leading up to dismissal is often crucial to the subsequent proceedings before the Employment Tribunal (Conseil de prud’hommes) or to conducting settlement negotiations under the best possible conditions.
It is therefore particularly important to seek legal advice and assistance at an early stage, before the dismissal takes effect and, in some cases, even before the preliminary dismissal meeting.
Early legal assistance helps identify the key issues in your situation, preserve evidence relevant to your defence and anticipate the various options available to you.
Employment Tribunal proceedings can be complex and often require the assistance of a lawyer.
Ordinary proceedings before the Employment Tribunal (Conseil de prud’hommes) begin with an attempt at conciliation. This stage may result in an agreement between the parties, bringing the dispute to an end.
If no agreement is reached, the case is referred to the adjudicating panel of the Employment Tribunal, which will issue a decision.
Our law firm assists you at every stage of the proceedings to protect your interests as effectively as possible, from preparing your case through to the final resolution of the dispute.
If an Employment Tribunal decision is appealed, the case is heard by the Labour Chamber of the competent Court of Appeal.
At this stage, the case is heard by professional judges rather than Employment Tribunal lay judges.
Our law firm can also assist and represent you throughout this new stage of the proceedings.
Our law firm is by your side to handle your case as efficiently and promptly as possible, provide you with legal advice and protect your interests in dealings with your employer.
