Local knowledge
Employment law in Dundee
Dundee has moved on from its historic jute, jam and journalism industries to an economy led by health, education, life sciences and digital work. NHS Tayside, Dundee City Council, the University of Dundee and D. C. Thomson are among its largest employers, and the city has a well-established video games sector. These raise issues from NHS grievance procedures and university fixed-term contracts to restrictive covenants in games studios.
Dundee is a regional employment centre, with many people commuting in from Fife, Angus and Perth and Kinross. Large manufacturing closures in recent years have also made redundancy consultation and pay a familiar issue in the city. When redundancies are proposed, we can check whether consultation is fair, selection is lawful and any package reflects your rights.
For Dundee employers, from start-ups and studios to established manufacturers and service businesses, we advise on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, and absence and performance management. We help you put fair procedures in place and apply them consistently, so you can act with confidence when a difficult issue arises.

Questions
Dundee employment law questions
Short answers to common questions. Every situation is different, so the free consultation is the best place to start.
Do I need to travel to Glasgow for advice?
Not necessarily. Call us on 0141 471 9166 or book online and we will arrange your free 30-minute consultation by video, by phone or in person. Most of our meetings take place by video, so there is usually no need to travel. If you would like to meet in person, our office is at 11 Ashley Street, Glasgow, and direct trains run between Dundee and Glasgow Queen Street.
Where would a Dundee employment tribunal hearing take place?
Employment Tribunals Scotland has a hearing centre at Ground Floor, Endeavour House, 1 Greenmarket, Dundee. Some hearings also take place by video. We will explain what to expect at each stage.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
For most claims the time limit is now six months from the date of the act you are complaining about, such as your dismissal. This changed on 1 October 2026; before then it was three months less one day. You usually need to start Acas early conciliation first, and time limits can be strict, so speak to a solicitor as early as you can.
Do you advise Dundee businesses as well as employees?
Yes. We advise employers across Dundee and Tayside on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, and handling whistleblowing reports.
