Approach a specialist employment law firm (e.g. Lewis Silkin |Home) and get it done right first time.

Better paying for a few hours of a solicitors time than paying 10 times as much after the employment tribunal is finished with you.

Very true... I would caution against picking a firm off the internet... go by a recommendation, and for god's sake steer clear of Peninsula

Thanks for the advise Guys (Sean, yours was especially useful! ).

ACAS were great, and they have quite a detailed section about long term sickness/ absence on their website, along with standard letters etc. which may prove useful.

I can't really do anything for a month at least, in which time I'm hoping that my man will improve enough to resume his duties. If it is longer than this, then I'll have to re-look at the situation.

Short term, I have found someone to come in and fill a few day a week... but with anything like this, the job does involve a certain amount of manual skill, and operating tools and machinery, something that can only be picked up by physically doing the job over a long period of time.
