Too many employers fall foul of their legal obligations in regard to maternity and paternity issues, some do so by accident while others can be rather more wilful. Here at MML Law, we represent both employers and employees in such cases, and this experience places us in the ideal position to advise and guide you, and to act on your behalf from the very beginning to the final outcome.
Maternity and paternity rights are enshrined in law, of course, but the legislation can be more than a little complicated, especially if you’re unused to interactions with the country’s legal framework. That’s why you need our team on your side when something simply isn’t right. We have dealt with a wide range of issues in recent years, including the likes of:
…and more.
Sadly, there are still far too many incidents of unfair treatment of pregnant mothers and expectant fathers. Some employers are genuinely unaware of the rights of their workers in such cases, but others have definitely been more than a little unscrupulous. MML Law is determined to stand up for the rights of parents in the workplace, irrespective of who they work for or the type of job they have.
If you have a baby on the way, this is a time in your life when you need to focus on the new arrival and do all you can to help everything go smoothly. This is certainly not the time to be getting wrapped up in workplace disputes over holidays, wages, paid leave, medical appointments and other details. Engaging the services of our experienced employment law professionals is the optimum way to reduce those unnecessary stress levels.
In some cases, individuals or couples have come to us in a concerned state, worried about repercussions their employers might consider. It’s important for all employees to know that maternity and paternity rights are protected under UK law, and that they are perfectly within their rights to seek legal help in the wake of any breaches of legislation. If this applies to you, contacting a law firm is the sensible first step on the path to justice.
And on the other side of the coin, if you’re a company owner, director or manager and you’re not sure of your obligations in this matter, we will be only too happy to discuss the legal responsibilities that you have. We can provide concise explanations of all the issues that you face, helping you in the process to remain compliant with all relevant rules and regulations.
Whether you’re an employee or an employer, you need to know that expert legal advice is easy to find. The MML Law team can be contacted on 01382 206 000 today and is ready and waiting to help you from the start. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
