The Employment Law in UK

If you are a foreign employee currently working in the UK and are interested in the implications once the Kingdom leaves the European Union, our employment solicitors in London can help answer any questions.

Some of the main issues addressed in the employment legislation are the following:

• the terms for employment: the contract for employment, the minimum daily and weekly rests as well as the minimum wage in the United Kingdom;
• employee representation: legal terms for trade union recognition as well as their rights and collective bargaining, among others;
• discrimination: the law allows employees and workers to be protected against discrimination based on age, gender (including reassignment), religion, beliefs and others;
• maternity leave: the ordinary maternity leave, as well as the additional and the compulsory maternity leave types, are defined in the current legislation;
• company mergers: the preservation of the employment contract following a business sale and the rights of the employee in this situation.

This list is not an exhaustive one and we encourage you to reach out to our experts for employment law free advice in UK.

The current law distinguishes between employees as well workers and self-employed. Out of the three categories, the employees have the highest number of rights. Our team can help you understand the particularities applicable to each group.
