What Are Employment Rights?
Employment rights are legal protections designed to safeguard your fair treatment at work, ensure fair pay, and protect you from unjust treatment or exploitation. These rights can cover various aspects of your employment, including:
- Unfair Dismissal: If you believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed from your job, you may be entitled to seek compensation or reinstatement.
- Discrimination: Protection against discrimination on the basis of race, sex, disability, age, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics.
- Equal Pay: Ensuring that you are paid fairly for the same work, regardless of gender, race, or other factors.
- Health and Safety: Your right to a safe and healthy workplace, free from harm or dangerous conditions.
- Wages and Working Hours: Understanding your rights regarding pay, holiday entitlement, sick leave, and working hours.
- Whistleblowing: Protections for employees who report unethical or illegal activities in the workplace.
- Employment Contracts: Your right to have a written contract outlining your terms of employment and protection against unfair terms.

Your basic employment rights include the right to a written statement of employment, protection against unfair dismissal, the right to receive at least the national minimum wage, the right to holiday pay, protection against discrimination, and the right to a safe working environment.
An employment contract should include key details such as your job title, duties, pay, working hours, holiday entitlement, and notice period. It should also cover any disciplinary procedures, benefits, and terms for terminating the contract.
A solicitor can help by advising you on your rights, reviewing your employment contract, representing you in cases of unfair dismissal or discrimination, assisting with grievances or disputes, and providing legal support if you need to take action in an employment tribunal.
