    The Working Time Directive area covers rules about how long people can work, rest breaks, and paid leave in England. A solicitor in this field helps ensure you and your employer comply with the Working Time Regulations 1998 (as amended), draft or review holiday policies, calculate average working hours, and advise on opt-outs or special cases. They can assist with claiming compensation or arranging settlements if limits are breached, prepare evidence, and represent you in disputes before the Employment Tribunal or in related proceedings.

    “I came to Slater Heelies after a disaster with previous solicitor. Alex from the onset was friendly, reassuring, professional but firm. Many times she had to challenge my perspectives and encouraged strength. Alex had an objective approach and was always quick and prompt in replying to emails and calls. Her in depth knowledge was reassuring and was able to relay in a succinct manner that was easy to digest. I felt with Alex’s friendly manner that she always had my best interests at the heart and was extremely reassuring during the whole process which was really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in using her again… but at the same time hope that there would never be a need. Thank you ”

    Jason Pradhan Your solicitor Jason Pradhan Associate Solicitor 5.0 from 1 client review
    “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.”
