Understanding the UK employment Law

In the UK there are approximately 4 million limited companies, with up to 21 million full time and part time employees. Therefore, UK employment laws are put into place to ensure that employers and employees are protected.

So what is employment law?

Put quite simply employment laws (of which there are many) are there to protect businesses, outline what their obligations are towards their employees and what protection is put in place for business owners.

An example of this would be, UK employment laws safeguard organisations by setting out guidelines in contracts. I.e. disciplinary rules, holiday entitlement and formal notice periods. It is important that contracts are put into place in order to protect employers and ensure they are both singing from the same hymn sheet. Also, UK employment laws are also there to protect employees, from hiring practices to conduct in the workplace and fair pay. In the UK for example, it is essential that businesses pay the National Minimum Wage based on the staff members age.

Immediately employees are covered from the moment they apply for a job by the Equality Act 2010. This legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.

Our signature training on UK Employment Law addresses key factors such as:

• Employment contracts
• Holiday entitlement
• Working hours
• Disciplinary procedures
• Leaves
