Can my employee claim for breach of contract?
Disputes can often be resolved between the two parties without recourse to legal action, by the employee either taking the matter up with his line manager or raising a formal grievance. Employees who suffer a measurable financial loss because you have not followed the agreed terms of their contract can seek damages by making a breach of contract claim. Normally this must be made to a county or other civil court but if the employment has ended, it may be made to an employment tribunal. If you suffer a measurable financial loss because an employee has departed from the agreed terms of the contract of employment, you can also seek damages in the same way – as a breach of contract claim or, if your employee has already claimed breach of contract to the tribunal, as a counter-claim.
