GOODWYN HERRERA SOLICITORS
Breaches of contract
An employment contract sets out the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employee. When either side fails to uphold those terms — whether through unpaid wages, failure to provide agreed benefits, or an employee leaving without notice — it can amount to a breach of contract.
At GWH Solicitors, we advise both employers and employees on breach of contract claims, helping to resolve disputes quickly and protect our clients’ legal and commercial interests.
Common Examples of Breach of Contract
Unpaid wages or benefits – salary, bonuses, holiday pay, or other entitlements not provided.
Failure to provide agreed work – reducing hours or changing roles without agreement.
Notice periods – employers failing to give notice, or employees leaving without serving notice.
Breach of restrictive covenants – employees working for competitors against contractual terms.
Failure to follow procedures – not adhering to disciplinary, grievance, or redundancy processes set out in contracts.
