Employment law, done properly.

Employment law spans both contentious and advisory work. Obiter gives you a single platform for ET claims management, statutory calculations, settlement agreements, and client correspondence — with automatic time recording throughout.

The Employment challenge

Employment practice carries an unusually heavy administrative load. Strict tribunal deadlines, multi-step conciliation procedures, statutory calculations that change each tax year, and advisory work that goes unrecorded — the administration risk is constant, and the revenue leakage is real.

  • ET1 and ET3 deadlines are strict and statutory
  • ACAS Early Conciliation adds complexity to the timeline
  • Statutory pay calculations are frequently wrong without dedicated tools
  • Settlement agreements need careful drafting and section 111A protection
  • Advisory work (handbooks, contracts) generates significant unbilled time
