Not if you go about things in the right way. If you have a genuine and reasonable concern about the way you are being treated, it is important to raise it. And an employment law specialist will help you do things in a measured and appropriate way.
We quite often advise in the background. That means that we will advise you on how best to broach an issue with your employer. We will help you ask the right questions, and we will even draft letters and emails for you to send to your employer in your name. It is all about judging the situation and taking the right action to sort it out. Of course, where the circumstances call for it, we step in and correspond directly with employers. And we represent clients at tribunals where that becomes necessary.
