Think your employer has breached your contract? Here's what to check.
← Back to Employment Contracts Lawyer
A breach of your employment contract means your employer hasn't done something the contract requires, and that's a genuinely broad category, from an unpaid bonus you were promised in writing, to a unilateral change to your role that the contract didn't allow.
This might be your situation if
- You were promised a bonus, commission, or allowance in your contract that hasn't been paid.
- Your role, pay, or hours were changed without the agreement your contract requires.
- An agreed process, like a notice period or a specific procedure, wasn't followed.
- You're not sure whether what's happened is a genuine breach or just a change you don't like.
Send us your contract, or the relevant clause, along with what's actually happened, and we'll help you understand whether it's a breach and what your options are.
Common questions
Not paying agreed entitlements (bonuses, commissions, allowances), changing your role, pay, or hours without agreement, or not following an agreed process (like notice or a disciplinary procedure) are all common.
Options range from raising it directly with your employer, to a formal legal claim for damages, depending on the seriousness and what you're seeking. It's worth understanding what you're actually owed before deciding how to proceed.
