Your employment solicitor should discuss your expectations and tell you whether they think they are realistic. It should be important to your employment solicitor that you understand at all times what is happening with your matter. To help prevent any confusion or stress on your part, your employment solicitor should give you general information and explain any procedures regarding your matter as it progresses.

Instructions
You can help your employment solicitor to help you by giving them clear instructions, accurately advising us of all facts relevant to your matter, keeping them informed of all developments relating to the matter, letting them know if there are any important time limits of which they should be aware, dealing promptly with their queries or requests for information, making yourself available to attend meetings or proceedings, and advising if you will be unavailable at any time.

Expectations
Due to the nature of the work employment solicitors undertake, you will appreciate that it is not always possible to give an exact timescale or definitive date by which time your matter shall have completed. However, your employment solicitor should keep you appraised of all developments. Employment disputes can very often pivot around the date provided by the Workplace Relations Commission for an adjudication.

Excluded
Services
In many instances, an employee may have a number of separate claims against their employer. It is important to be precise in defining what your employment solicitor is responsible for, and what he or she is not managing. Furthermore, in contentious employment law matters, an award often or settlement often requires independent advice from an accountant or tax advisor, which your employment solicitor should refer you to.

At the beginning of your matter, your employment solicitor should provide you information, in writing, about their fees and other expenses that may be incurred.
Outside of fixed-rate charges, most employment solicitors charge an hourly rate in relation to your matter.
In the event of you varying your instructions, this may increase the time required to be spent on your matter or increase costs.

Costs
Although your employment solicitor should provide a reasonable prediction of costs, based on the information available at the time, much will depend on the complexity and novelty of the issues involved in the legal work, the skill or specialized knowledge relevant to the matter which your employment solicitor has applied to the matter, and the time and labour that your solicitor has reasonably expended on the matter.
