Employment law is complex and fast changing and can prove to be a minefield for any business owner. Mistakes can be costly. Our employment specialists have many years’ experience of working with agricultural and rural businesses including farmers, distributors, picking and storage operations as well as equestrian based businesses.
How we can help your rural business
With restrictions on migration coming into force as a consequence of Brexit, the rural sector faces challenges in relation to the access and retention of labour. We can provide support and advice in relation to flexible approaches to working, workforce retention and alternative labour models such as apprenticeships.
We give practical and clear advice on all aspects of employment law including contracts, disciplinary matters, sickness management and terminations. If you are a farmer with seasonal workers, we can advise on working arrangements and employment status and ensure proper protections are in place.
We give practical and clear advice on all aspects of employment law including:
- redundancies, reorganisations and restructuring
