Employment Rights Act 1996 (UK)

The Employment Rights Act 1996 is a key piece of UK legislation that protects employees' rights at work. It covers important issues such as the right to a written statement of employment, protections against unfair dismissal, and rights relating to redundancy and employment contracts. It ensures that employees have a fair process when faced with dismissal and outlines the procedures for addressing grievances. The Act also protects workers from unfair treatment when they assert their rights, creating a framework for workplace fairness and security in employment relationships.
