    Performance and absence management covers how an employer handles staff performance and sickness absence within the workplace. A solicitor in this area advises on capability and conduct procedures, drafts and reviews performance improvement plans, and helps structure absence management strategies including sickness absence monitoring, return-to-work processes, and reasonable adjustments for ill health. They also advise on disciplinary steps, potential redundancy, and appeal rights, ensuring actions align with employment law, contracts, and any applicable policy.

    “I found working with Amanda great from the get go. She was realistic about timings, able to assist to help meet my goals, with guidance which meant things were done right to protect me longterm as well as within the immediate situation with clear communication throughout. I felt that I could trust her judgement and that she listened well to my needs explaining the details to ensure I understood. The meetings we had were professional yet friendly and offices well presented in a lovely location. Quote was slightly higher than other local firms, but for the service delivered worth it & would certainly use them again (Amanda in particular).”

    “Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone. ”
