Email Advice - Employment

For us to provide you with the best information we can, it would be helpful if you could give a complete (but concise) description of your problem. Often it helps us if we have an understanding of your general situation, including:

What your marital status is (married, single, divorced, separated, windowed, etc.).
Do you have any dependants (e.g. children under school age or in full-time education, etc.)?
Your employment status (e.g. full-time, retired, unemployed, etc.).
What benefits (if any) you receive.
What your housing status is (private tenant, housing association tenant, home owner, lodger, etc.)

In addition, to help you complete the form, here are some questions that we would ask you in a face to face interview or on the telephone:

What is the name of your employer?
Do you have a written contract?
Are you currently working? If not, have you been dismissed, made redundant, walked out or suspended?
When did you start working for your current employer?
When were you dismissed/suspended/made redundant?
Has your employer been following a procedure (e.g. grievance, dismissal, etc.)?
Have any meeting dates been arranged (e.g. tribunal, disciplinary, appeals, etc.)?
When did the problem first crop up?
Has the same problem happened to anyone else who works with you?
Are you a member of a trade union?
Are you self-employed?
Are you pregnant?
Does your home come with your job (e.g. agricultural tenancy, nanny, bar work, etc.)?
The rules are different for some people who are not British or who have been living outside of the UK. Does this apply to you?
Do you feel that you have been discriminated against because of your race, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation or disability?
What have you done so far (e.g. consulted a solicitor, mediation, etc.)?
What are you hoping we can do for you?

You are under no obligation to tell us anything you don’t want to but we can only base our advice on the information we are given. Also, the more information you give us at the outset would reduce the chances of us having to ask you additional questions further down the line, thus increasing the time you may have to wait for a full response.
