We understand the difficulties that agricultural businesses may face when it comes to employment. The agriculture sector is unique in that the industry relies on both permanent, short-term and seasonal workers at varying times of the year, some of whom may not be a UK citizen. This can present several challenges to businesses, for example in drafting valid employment contracts, managing staff appropriately and according to demand, and handling disciplinary and grievance processes.
It is important to ensure that you have expert support on hand to assist you with any employment matters should they arise. Our expert agricultural employment law team have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that you receive timely advice and professional guidance when you need it, so that you can focus on what matters most: running your organisation.
