Solicitors in Falkirk

Like many of the towns in the UK, Falkirk was transformed by the Industrial Revolution into a centre for iron and steel production. Over the last 50 years the economy of Falkirk has moved away from heavy industry to embrace services that now form the foundations of the economy in the town.

If you work in an office or retail environment, you should be fully aware of your rights regarding many things, including your company sick pay. Your contract of employment should set out what level of sick pay you can expect. Note that any employer in Falkirk cannot offer you sick pay that is less than Statutory Sick Pay.

Some employers in Falkirk may offer you sick pay that is actually more generous then Statutory Sick Pay. All employers in Falkirk are free to set-up their own sick pay schemes as long as the amount of sick pay you are paid is not below the statutory minimum. If you think the sick pay scheme that your employer is using is breaking sick pay rules, contact a solicitor in Falkirk, as they will be able to advise you on the action you can take.

You should also note that most employers in Falkirk would want you to complete a minimum period of service before they will pay you any sick pay. This can include, or be in addition to, a probationary period of employment you are asked to complete by your employer. If you are in any doubt about this aspect of employment law, Falkirk has many solicitors that specialise in employment law.

It may also be necessary to contact solicitors in Falkirk if your employer has refused to pay you any sick pay. Falkirk employers do have the right to pay sick pay at their discretion, but they must have a good reason for refusing your payments. If you feel that you have been refused sick pay, and this was potentially discrimination, you should contact solicitors in Falkirk to advise you on your rights, and what potential action you can take.
