Advice Centre - Employment Issues

It is often difficult for pharmacists to be able to judge what is reasonable behaviour by their employer, especially if working in isolation.

There are many situations in an employment relationship where disputes can emerge, and when this occurs you may feel:

  • You have been treated unfairly or harshly
  • You may have been treated illegally
  • Desperate because you know that you are at fault but you do not know the best course of action to follow
  • You just want someone to talk to, or someone to support you through the process

How can the PDA help?

The PDA will help you in these situations by:

  • Listening to your side of the story
  • Giving you independent advice
  • Referring you to legal experts where appropriate and if necessary covering your legal defence costs in the event of an Employment Tribunal
  • Giving you practical support by providing you with an experienced mentor to support you through any disciplinary proceedings that may be instigated against you by your employer
  • Providing you with access to an advice file describing the do's and don'ts of previous situations
  • Providing you with a database of frequently asked questions, articles, research and case studies relevant to pharmacy employment.
