Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that dealing with workplace stress and mental health issues can be overwhelming. Here are some common questions our clients ask:
What legal protections do I have against workplace stress?
In the UK, employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees, which includes managing work-related stress.
If an employer fails to address workplace stress adequately, they may be liable for any resulting health issues.
Can I take legal action if my employer ignores my reports of stress?
Yes, if your employer neglects to take reasonable steps to address reported workplace stress, you may have grounds for a claim. Our stress at work lawyers can assess your situation and advise on the best course of action.
What are reasonable adjustments for mental health conditions?
Reasonable adjustments are changes made to your work environment or schedule to accommodate mental health conditions.
These can include flexible working hours, changes to workload, or providing a quiet workspace. Employers are legally obligated to consider and implement such adjustments where appropriate.
