Leave management covers how an employee’s statutory and contractual time off is requested, granted, tracked and paid, including annual leave, sick leave, parental and family-related leave, compassionate leave, and emergency or unpaid leave. A solicitor in this area advises on right to time off, accrual rules, statutory thresholds, and compliance with the Working Time Regulations, plus handling disputes over leave entitlement, refusals, and return-to-work requirements. They draft policies, review requests, and liaise with HR and payroll to protect the client’s position.
Where a solicitor protects your position
Leave decisions can trigger deadlines for taking time off, payment of holiday pay, or the risk of discrimination or constructive dismissal claims if mishandled. A solicitor helps identify when deadlines apply, how to respond to complex leave requests, and how to minimise exposure to claims while ensuring lawful adherence to statutory and contractual entitlements.
