Absence from work covers how sickness, annual leave, or other authorised or unauthorised absences affect your job. A solicitor in this area helps you understand your rights when you are sick or unavailable, and how employers can manage attendance fairly under employment law. They handle issues such as fit-for-work assessments, sick pay, annual leave accrual, and disciplinary or dismissal steps connected to absence. The focus is on protecting your employment status while complying with the law.

She got up to speed with my case very quickly and summarised the position clearly and concisely pointing out some contradictions and missing clauses from the initial draft agreement.
