Employee and workplace rights
All employees deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. It’s not just good for business; it’s the law. Discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying cost time and money, damage morale, reduce productivity and undermine reputations. Employers’ responsibilities apply across all stages of employment, including recruitment, during pregnancy, returning to work after parental leave, if you are injured or ill, and if you are being dismissed or made redundant.
