Local knowledge
Employment law in Stirling
The University of Stirling and Stirling Council are two of the largest employers in the area, and financial and insurance services and tourism are the biggest service sector employers, with a large insurance and investment base at Craigforth. Universities and councils often raise issues around fixed-term and research contracts, restructuring and grievances, while financial services roles can involve bonuses and restrictive covenants.
Tourism is a major source of work in Stirling, alongside retail in the city centre, the Thistles shopping centre and Springkerse. Hospitality and retail jobs often involve variable hours, seasonal peaks and weekend work, which can lead to disputes about holiday pay, deductions from wages and notice. We can check whether you are being paid correctly and explain what to do if you are not.
For Stirling employers, we advise on contracts, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, restructuring and settlement agreements, and on handling whistleblowing concerns. We help you follow a fair process from the start, so that decisions are well reasoned and properly documented if they are later challenged.

Questions
Stirling employment law questions
Short answers to common questions. Every situation is different, so the free consultation is the best place to start.
Do I need to travel to Glasgow for advice?
Not necessarily. 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 Stirling to Glasgow Queen Street.
Where would a Stirling employment tribunal hearing take place?
Employment Tribunals Scotland decides where each claim is heard. The nearest staffed centre is the Glasgow Tribunals Centre at 20 York Street, and recent Stirling cases have also been heard in 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.
Can you help Stirling businesses with employment issues?
Yes. We advise employers in Stirling and the Forth Valley on contracts, restructuring, settlement agreements, restrictive covenants, absence and performance management, and handling whistleblowing reports.
