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.
The decision to dismiss or discipline for absence can have lasting effects on your employment and income. A solicitor explains the legal consequences of unpaid or unlawful absence, the deadlines for raising grievances or appeals, and how statutory sick pay, discretionary sick pay, and potential tribunal remedies interact with your current contract.

Tagged solicitor Jason Pradhan
Jason provided excellent support during a very stressful employment matter. His advice was clear, practical and strategic, and his guidance on the legal position and negotiation approach was instrumental in helping me achieve the outcome I did. He quickly helped me understand the options open to me, explained the risks in a way that was easy to understand, and helped me approach the process with much more confidence. I really appreciated not only his technical knowledge, but also his calm, thoughtful and human approach throughout. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone dealing with an employment dispute, especially if they need clear advice, strong strategy and practical judgement.
