Your rights at work

We are sometimes placed in situations at work where we are not certain as to what rights we have. People who are not members of organised Trades Unions are often left on their own to deal with whatever difficulties they face.

Employment Law in the UK and throughout the European Union is quite extensive. It is a mistake, however, to think that the law is there to protect either side in any industrial dispute. Employment law exists to keep a balance between rights and obligations. So an employee will have certain rights and an employer certain obligations towards that member of staff and the same works in reverse.

I will be visiting this area of law soon with specific information of what you can do as an employee to protect your position and what obligations employers have.
