- Feeling like you're the only one who can see what's really going on?
Our Client's Story
“When I approached Employment Matters I was at the end of my tether. I had been working in an environment that left me shaken to the core; my confidence was on the floor and I had no clue what options were available to me. The minute I met Séan and the team I felt floods of relief as I knew I finally had someone fighting in my corner.
The WRC process wasn’t an easy one, but having the right people beside you is the best thing you can ask for. While it was fantastic at the end of the process to walk away with a win, it was the restoration to my confidence that meant the most. I wasn’t wrong. I was mistreated. And having that proven in the WRC was one of the strongest things I have ever done.”

Our Client's Story
“I was devastated that my career had come to an end because of the actions of a small number of people in a large organisation. The problem was that this was ignored at the top and I was simply abandoned by my employer. I felt that no-one cared and then a friend referred me to Employment Matters. While the process was daunting, to have them with me every step of the way made it far easier to handle. Their professionalism and competence blew me (and my former employer) away. At times, they seemed to know more about my case than I did! Anyway, I’m so glad I did it and I was vindicated. The money was nice but the thought that I had won was worth more than anything.”
