Advice

Don't get court out if you catch your staff at Wimbledon

As an employer would you know what to do if one of your staff “pulls a sickie” and is then spotted tucking into strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, dancing in their wellies at Glastonbury or giving it their all at thefootball in France?

We urge you to avoid being hasty in issuing a dismissal by text in a fit of pique. Employers need to follow a few simple rules to avoid a possible employment tribunal claim and a bill for compensation.

If you suspect your staff are flagrantly flouting employment laws, it is critical that you follow the correct process to gain the advantage and avoid paying the price later. The process includes conducting an investigation, suspending the person in question and inviting them to a formal meeting. Your appeals process may entail you drafting in a senior umpire in your organisation and, as specialists in this field, we will help to ensure that you avoid any tricky line calls by serving up an ace or two from our team of employment law experts.

We are adept on advising on such cases and are perfectly positioned to make sure you avoid being centre court or a headline act of a different kind. For further information please contact us on 0113 320 5000 or email @email

Client feedback

Fast acting legal firm! From booking an initial consultation to every step in between until agreement is settled - this firm provides first class service. The comfort of having solicitors service without attending office is the new way forward and this company made everything seamlessly possible! I highly recommend this firm as they are specialised in settlement agreements and do exactly as they advertise to do.

I recently worked with Dervinder on a matter requiring professional services. Throughout the process, he was consistently responsive, proactive, and professional. He took the time to explain each step clearly and always acted with integrity and care. His communication was excellent, and I felt supported and informed at every stage.Although still a trainee solicitor, Dervinder conducted himself with the assurance and attention to detail of someone far more experienced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for anyone seeking professional legal services.

I have recently worked with Samira and Dervinder, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. From the very beginning, they were both professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the legal process in clear and understandable terms, and their attention to detail and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome truly stood out. 10 out of 10!

From first contacting Winstons Solicitor, I was really impressed with the care, concern and empathy with which I was met. My subsequent meeting with Samira continued in the same way and I was able to benefit from clear, concise and invaluable professional advice clearly gained from years of experience. Thank you.

Amazing service from Winston Solicitors. Through my settlement agreement Dervinder explained everything thoroughly and helped understand what it was, what it meant and where changes were needed they sorted this to the timeline that was set. They were proactive and responded to all queries. They were very helpful and would recommend them completely as they explain in understandable terms for someone with limited knowledge of the process Thank you so much all!
