With increasing regularity, both employers and employees are faced with conflicts surrounding performance and disciplinary matters in both unionized and non-unionized workplaces. While there may be nuances in local Labour Relations practice and legislation across Caribbean jurisdictions, the general underlying premise guiding the establishment of these laws are for the most part similar. Employers must ensure that there are legitimate reasons for dismissals or disciplinary actions and they must follow a proper process meeting the standards of statute, common law and natural justice provisions.

We offer comprehensive assistance to both employer and employee clients, to expertly navigate what could be virtual a minefield for the inexperienced. We provide the following services:

• designing/reviewing the structure of appropriate disciplinary policies and procedures tailored to the need of specific business

• represent the employee or employer at arbitration proceedings

Our aim is to ensure that the best interest of our clients are properly addressed within the boundaries of law and practice to achieve the best results in the context of the unique circumstances surrounding each case.
