The Employment Rights Act 1996
The Employment Rights Act 1996 is generally all the right an employee has. The main notion of this act is that it specifies every detail to what the employee would need to know when he or she starts to work. Below I have outlined some of the employments rights.
All employees are entitled to an itemized pay-slip which shows gross and net pay and details of any deductions, so for example, if I was a full time new employee at Boots Opticians and when I receive my wage I'd like to see how much form my net pay has been deducted for tax and the number of hours I've worked to get that amount or to see whether I have received that extra sick pay, also if they've paid me the right amount overall. If I hadn't known about receiving an itemized pay-slip and the possibility of theses situations happening I'd be losing a lot of money by not knowing my employment rights.
