As soon as your employees start to sell you their labour they gain a raft of statutory rights, in fact they get some rights just by applying for a job. Premier Legal can help you to keep up with the ever changing landscape of employee rights.
Some rights are obvious - the right to be paid and to know when and how it will happen, the right to written terms and conditions of employment, to holiday or sick pay and the right to be treated fairly.
But did you know that part time or casual staff must be treated in the same way as your full time team, that new mothers can take a year off, most of it paid, and still be allowed to return to their old job, that parents can ask for flexible working as can some other carers, that men can have paternity leave even if they are not the child's biological father.
There are rights not to be discriminated against, rights to be able to join a trade union, rights to a safe working environment or if you have to end the working relationship rights to notice and redundancy pay.
There are well over 200 pieces of legislation providing rights to employees; you can't be expected to know them all, but we can.
