Employers flock to Martin Kaye employment law seminar

Aug. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Telford, Shropshire, UK: Shropshire employers who are struggling to cope with staff taking time off sick were recently given the opportunity to take up expert advice from leading Shropshire employment law solicitors Martin Kaye LLP.

The employment law experts organised a special presentation at their offices in The Foundry, Euston Way, Telford, on Friday July 1st, and it was so popular that it was booked up within hours of being announced.

Speaking in advance of the employment law advice seminar in Telford, Martin Kaye’s employment law specialist, John Mehtam, who leads their Alpha business team, said, "Many companies are struggling to cope when employees take time off sick, particularly in such tough economic times when they are already operating with a skeleton staff. So our seminar will look at the legal rules and implications involved in the correct management of both short term and long term sickness absence. The approach to both situations is entirely different, but both must be handled in the right way, and we will help employers avoid the common pitfalls they may face."

Speaking after the event, Mr Mehtam said delegates who attended were very impressed with the advice they received."We had an excellent response to the presentation and feedback forms completed by employers who attended rated the seminar as probably the best we've ever done.”

The Alpha team were also joined on the day by leading barrister, David Maxwell, from St Philips Chambers in Birmingham, who is a specialist employment lawyer, a part-time employment judge, and who is recommended by the Legal 500.

This was the latest in a series of seminars run by the Alpha team who specialise in effective and robust advice for businesses in all aspects of human resources and employment law.
