UK employment law
UK employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees, ensuring fair treatment and protections. It covers areas such as contracts, minimum wage, working hours, health and safety, discrimination, and dismissal procedures. Employees have rights to minimum notice periods, holiday entitlement, and protection from unfair treatment. Employers must adhere to these rules, provide a contract, and maintain a safe workplace. Laws also encourage clear communication and fair employment practices, with enforcement through governmental agencies like ACAS and tribunals if disputes arise. The goal is to promote fair, respectful, and safe working environments for all parties.
