Employment Rights

Whether you are an employer or an employee you should be aware of your rights and responsibilities.

Employees are protected by both statutory and contractual rights. Employment law covers almost every area of working life. The basic rights are focused on:

• Working hours
• Leave including annual, sick and maternity leave
• Employment Contracts and other agreements
• National minimum wage
• Unauthorised Deductions
• Working environment
• Dismissals and the end of employment

It is important for employees to know and protect their rights. Where an employee suspects an employer is not complying with the terms their Employment Contract or other employment rights, they should immediately seek legal advice as most employment law claims must be lodged within a strict time period.

It is also important for employers and their businesses that they are aware and comply with the all employment rights. Employment law can be complex and confusing and it has become increasingly difficult for employers to comply with all their responsibilities leading to expensive claims and disputes.
