Time off for dependants covers short, unplanned absences from work to deal with unexpected events involving a dependant, such as a family member or someone you depend on. A solicitor who practices in this area helps you understand your rights, advises on claims if the employer refuses time off, and assists with drafting correspondence or negotiating arrangements for leave and any necessary documentation. They also guide you on what counts as a dependant and how long the absence can last.</description>
The right arises under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and usually allows an employee to take reasonable unpaid time off to deal with the immediate aftermath of events affecting a dependant. A solicitor can help confirm eligibility, discuss documentation, and address any disciplinary or disciplinary-appeal implications when time off is requested or refused.

Had great service from Jennifer Cafferkey, Associate Solicitor, ably assisted by Louise. It was understandably a stressful situation but through the professional support provided by Jennifer and the team, it was made as easy as it could be producing a successful outcome. Jennifer and the law firm are easily recommended.

Tagged solicitor Emma O Meara
I was recently made redundant and asked Sherrards Solicitors to review my redundancy agreement. My case was handled by Emma O'Meara, who was incredibly thorough and made everything clear throughout the process. She even reviewed documents on her day off, which I really appreciated. After the agreement was signed, an amendment was needed, and Emma kindly handled it at no extra cost—something I’ve never experienced with any other solicitor. Her support genuinely made a difficult situation much easier. Highly recommended. Thank you, Emma!

Tagged solicitor Daniel Woodman
I had a meeting with Daniel regarding an employment issue. He was approachable and supportive throughout the process. I felt that he gave me clear, constructive advice about how to conclude an upsetting chapter at work. He allowed me to discuss my concerns and feelings; he listened well; and he made me feel that I could move forward with my life.
