Guidance

UK employment law, written for the person who has to deal with it on a Tuesday afternoon. Every claim here links to its source, and where the only source is a law firm rather than legislation or Acas, we say so.

Can I ask why someone is off sick?

You can ask, and nothing gives you a right to the name of the condition. What a UK employer can require, what to record, and what to ask instead.

12th September 2026

A customer is abusing my staff. What am I actually required to do?

A customer is verbally abusing your staff. What UK law already requires of you, what changes on 30th October 2026, and whether you can bar them.

My employee resigned in the middle of a disciplinary. What now?

My employee has been off sick for three months. What can I do?

There is no legal limit on sick leave, but there is a process. What a UK employer should actually do at the three month mark, and in what order.
