Support from the Solihull Community Advice Hubs
The Solihull Community Advice Hubs do not provide Employment Law advice as a front line service at either of it’s Hubs or over the telephone. Employment Law is quite a specialist subject so the Solihull Community Advice Hubs have a Complex Caseworker who specialises in Employment Law Advice. They can support you in knowing your rights as an employee and how to access legal support should you require it. It is advisable to book a face to face or telephone appointment to see our Complex Caseworker regarding any employment issue you may have. Contact the Hubs if you require this type of support.
