M&P Commentary

Esther Marshall, Solicitor and Employment Law specialist, said:

“The Working Time Regulations can be a daunting prospect for employers, but failing to follow the requirements could lead to an Employment Tribunal claim. Taking specialist employment law advice, and making sure that policies and procedures are up to date, will help to minimise the risk of a claim.”
