Disagreements over pay can be stressful and disruptive, whether you are an employee facing underpayment or an employer dealing with a claim. Navigating the complexities of employment law and employee pay disputes requires careful consideration and practical legal expertise. At The Law Firm Group, our specialist solicitors provide clear, effective guidance to help resolve pay disputes efficiently and with minimum stress.
Understanding Employee Pay Disputes
Employee pay disputes arise when there is a disagreement between an employer and an employee regarding payment of wages, overtime, bonuses, commission, holiday pay, or other elements of remuneration. Such disputes can impact trust in the workplace and, if left unresolved, may lead to formal grievances or employment tribunal claims.
Common issues include:
- Unpaid or late wages
- Incorrect calculation of overtime or shift allowances
- Disputes over bonuses or commission payments
- Underpayment of statutory entitlements (such as holiday or sick pay)
- Salary deductions not authorised by contract
- Disputes following redundancy or dismissal
Each situation is unique, and the right approach depends on the circumstances. The Law Firm Group specialises in providing expert legal advice tailored to your individual needs, whether you are seeking to resolve an issue informally or require representation in more formal proceedings.

How We Help – The Employee Pay Dispute Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey with The Law Firm Group begins with an initial consultation. Whether you are an employee or an employer, our solicitors will listen carefully to your account of the dispute. We will review relevant documents such as employment contracts, payslips, correspondence, and company policies to understand the full picture.
Advice on Your Legal Position
After assessing your situation, we will provide clear, practical legal advice. Our solicitors explain your rights and obligations under UK employment law, identify any breaches, and outline the strengths and weaknesses of your case. We will also discuss the likely outcomes and suggest the best strategy for resolution.
Negotiation and Early Resolution
Where appropriate, our team seeks to resolve employee pay disputes through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. This can often lead to a swift and cost-effective outcome without the need for formal proceedings. We act on your behalf in all communications with the other party, ensuring your interests are protected and your voice is heard.
Formal Grievances and Tribunal Claims
If early resolution is not possible, our specialist solicitors guide you through the next steps, which may include raising a formal grievance or, if necessary, pursuing a claim at an employment tribunal. We prepare all necessary documentation, represent you at hearings, and advocate robustly to secure the best possible result.
