Employment Rights

By law, all workers have a number of rights that have been carefully laid down to ensure that all individuals are treated fairly by their employers. The employment rights archive has a wealth of advice and support for working mums, ranging from bereavement leave to the living wage and much more.

While statutory rights form the basis for fair treatment in the workplace, your specific employee rights may vary slightly depending on the type of job you are hired to do and the arrangement you have with your employer along with a few other variables. Your exact rights at work will ultimately be derived from a combination of your statutory rights and your employment contract.
