EMPLOYMENT LAW SOLICITORS FOR THE VETERINARY SECTOR
Both employment law and your business are rapidly changing. Failing to understand and correctly apply employment law could leave you facing a tribunal claim - which could cost you in damages, loss of productivity and poor morale. A successful claim against you can, in some cases, threaten your entire business. The veterinary sector faces it's own unique employment challenges, which impact the type of disputes you may face.
Recently, we have helped several surgeries to deal with a variety of matters within their business. We have also worked with employees to resolve disputes. We use our experience and understanding of the veterinary sector to help respond to legal claims you face or, even better, reduce the risk of legal disputes altogether.
WE CAN HELP WITH COMMON PROBLEMS IN THE VETERINARY SECTOR
The risk of competitors poaching your staff and clients, due to high competition for good staff and the trust between clients and their vet . We can help by drafting legally enforcable restrictive covenants in your contracts and settlements.
Staff working long hours due to staff shortages or taking on locum shifts. We can advise you how to meet your obligations under the Working Time Regulations.
A highly female workforce, which means you're likely to face issues relating to pregnancy, maternity leave and menopause. Mistakes could leave you open to discrimination claims.
High potential for whistleblowing.
High rates of stress. We can help you to manage stress-related performance problems to reduce the risk of legal claims.
An increasing demand for flexible working. We can advise about your obligations, when you can refuse requests, and what to consider to avoid discriminating.
Poor retention of disabled staff, which could indicate disability discrimination.
