Studies show that the average person spends 90,000 hours of their life at work. With such a large proportion of time spent in the workplace, it’s no wonder that employment law needs to be so comprehensively covered.

Why do I need to know about employment law?

If you are an employer, you must comply with minimum statutory requirements regarding working hours, sick pay and annual leave as well as respecting a broad range of employee rights.

Employers can be liable for discrimination and victimisation, so should have written disciplinary and grievance procedures. The rules are tight and a proper understanding of them is crucial in the workplace.

Having a solicitor trained in employment law to advise you can be an invaluable asset to your business.
