Employment law in the UK protects employees and employers by setting clear rules on wages, contracts, and workplace safety. Understanding your rights can help you handle issues like unfair dismissal or discrimination confidently.
Employment Contracts: Every employee should have a written statement of employment terms within two months of starting work.
Minimum Wage & Hours: The National Minimum Wage and Working Time Regulations ensure fair pay and rest breaks.
Discrimination: The Equality Act 2010 prohibits workplace discrimination based on age, gender, race, or disability.
Dismissal & Redundancy: Workers have protection against unfair dismissal and are entitled to redundancy pay after two years of service.
