Family friendly rights at work - full legal support and advice for businesses

Helping your business meet obligations to employees

If you don’t have proper, up-to-date policies and procedures for supporting family friendly rights at work, your business could be a risk from costly legal claims. It’s vital that you are aware of your obligations to your employees. Tees provides guidance on every aspect of family friendly rights at work, helping you ensure your policies are up to date with legal requirements so that any requests or issues are handled correctly. Good well-managed policies help you retain valuable staff.

Handling complaints - expert employment lawyers on your side

Family friendly rights at work disputes are often over sensitive issues, such as returning from maternity leave, or rights for carers. Ideally, your legal advisers should help you achieve outcomes before action arises, but in cases where this doesn’t happen, you can rely on Tees for full legal support and guidance.
