Advice on Parental Rights, Flexible working and Equal Pay

ASK A QUESTION

Family rights and flexible working law has moved fast in recent years. We help you stay on the right side of it while still running your business the way you need to.

We advise on maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental and neonatal care leave, carer’s leave, flexible working requests and return to work arrangements. Balancing statutory rights against business needs isn’t always straightforward, and getting it wrong can lead to a grievance or worse.

We also advise on pregnancy and sex discrimination, equal pay issues and family-friendly policies, whether that’s a single request that needs a considered response or a wider policy review across your workforce.

Most flexible working disputes start with a request that wasn’t taken seriously enough at the first response.

Sometimes it’s a single request landing on a manager’s desk, and you want to know how to respond properly before you reply. Other times a pattern’s emerged across the business, maybe several similar requests, or a question about pay parity, and it’s time for a wider look. We can help with either.

If you’re not sure which of these fits your situation, call us, and we’ll point you in the right direction.
