Local knowledge
Employment law in Perth
Perth has a diverse economy of large companies, public bodies and small businesses. Perth and Kinross Council is the largest employer, NHS Tayside, Perth College UHI and SSE are also major employers, and Stagecoach has its global headquarters in the city. Energy, insurance and transport roles can raise questions about restructuring, bonuses, restrictive covenants and changes to terms and conditions.
Perth has more registered enterprises per head than the Scottish average, and small and medium-sized firms and the self-employed are an important part of the economy. Smaller workplaces may not have an HR team, which can lead to informal dismissals, unclear contracts and pay disputes. Retail and leisure also bring part-time and seasonal work. We can help you check your contract and raise concerns properly.
For Perth employers, from small firms to larger organisations, we advise on contracts, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, restructuring and settlement agreements. If you do not have in-house HR support, we can guide you through a disciplinary or redundancy process step by step, so that you follow a fair procedure.

Questions
Perth employment law questions
Short answers to common questions. Every situation is different, so the free consultation is the best place to start.
Can I get advice in Perth without a trip to Glasgow?
Call us on 0141 471 9166 or book online and we will arrange your free 30-minute consultation by video, by phone or in person. Most of our meetings take place by video, so there is usually no need to travel. If you would like to meet in person, our office is at 11 Ashley Street, Glasgow, and trains run from Perth to Glasgow Queen Street.
Where would a Perth employment tribunal hearing take place?
The nearest hearing centre is the Dundee Tribunal Hearing Centre, Endeavour House, 1 Greenmarket, Dundee. Some hearings also take place by video. We will explain what to expect at each stage.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
For most claims the time limit is now six months from the date of the act you are complaining about, such as your dismissal. This changed on 1 October 2026; before then it was three months less one day. You usually need to start Acas early conciliation first, and time limits can be strict, so speak to a solicitor as early as you can.
Do you advise employers in Perth and Kinross?
Yes. We advise employers across Perth and Kinross on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, and handling whistleblowing reports.
