    Employment Compensation Advice Are you considering bringing a claim against your employer to an employment tribunal in pursuit of compensation as the innocent party in a workplace dispute and seek advice from legal professionals who could help you achieve the best possible outcome available to you from the claim? Then you should make a no obligation call to the highly qualified and experienced legal professionals at Oakwood Solicitors to discuss your case in confidence and find out how we could help you successfully secure the maximum compensation award available to you with the minimal amount of hassle for you.

    Work-related stress can be extremely harmful to an employee’s psychological and physical health and is defined as the “adverse reaction that people have to the excessive pressures and other demands that are placed on them” according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

    According to estimates made by the Labour Forced Survey work-related stress in 2011/12 accounted for 40% of the total of all work-related illnesses at about 428000 cases.

    Work-related stress cannot only be harmful to an employee but can also be extremely costly for an employer. Employers have a legal duty of care and are required under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to carry out risk assessments of their employee’s job roles and working environment to ensure that they take any necessary preventative measures to avoid stress at work.

    Have you been involved in an employment dispute for which you are considering pursuing a compensation claim and need advice from legal experts on the best course of action for you to take? Then you should consult the dedicated employment law team at Oakwood Solicitors to confidentially discuss your case as we could provide you with accurate advice tailored to suit your individual situation and needs along with guidance regarding the process of bringing a claim against your employer to an employment tribunal and expert legal representation to ensure that you secure the full compensation that you justly deserve as the innocent party in an employment dispute.

    Mrs S from Bristol recently consulted the dedicated employment law team at Oakwood Solicitors to discuss her case and eligibility to bring a compensation claim against her employer. She told us that she is a part-time social worker who has been given an excessive workload much greater than her full-time colleagues. Mrs S went on to tell us how she was then subjected to unwarranted criticism all adding to her stress at work. We are currently looking into the details of this case for Mrs S to determine if he does indeed have grounds to bring a claim against your employer and to ensure that the advice we offer is the most appropriate for her particular circumstances and needs.
