Employment Legislation

Employment legislation in the UK consists of various laws and regulations that govern the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees.
The main legislation includes the Employment Rights Act 1996, which covers areas such as employment contracts, minimum wage, working time regulations, and protection against unfair dismissal.
The Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination based on characteristics such as age, gender, race, disability, and religion.
The legislation also addresses health and safety, maternity and paternity leave, redundancy, and whistleblowing.
Compliance with employment legislation is crucial to ensure fair and equitable treatment of employees and to maintain a positive and lawful work environment.
