Agricultural wages covers the wage setting and enforcement framework for farm workers under the historic Agricultural Wages legislation. A solicitor practising in this area handles the drafting, review and negotiation of Agricultural Wages Orders, advises employers and workers on their rights and obligations, and represents clients in disputes before relevant bodies such as agricultural wages committees and related tribunals. Work may involve responding to changes in statutory schemes, securing compliant pay rates, and handling disputes over pay, allowances and deductions. The practice is shaped by statutory thresholds, procedural rules and time limits that govern the setting and variation of agricultural pay.
