Employment law governs the relationship between employers and the people who work for them, setting out the rights and responsibilities on both sides. Getting it wrong — even unintentionally — can lead to grievances, tribunal claims and real harm to people and organisations, so a working understanding matters to managers, supervisors, HR and employees alike. This course introduces the legal framework that underpins work in the UK and explains the different types of employment status (employee, worker and self-employed) and why the distinction matters for the rights a person has.
It then covers the core rights everyone should understand — contracts, pay and the National Minimum Wage, working time and holiday, and family-related leave — before looking at equality and discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 and the protected characteristics it covers. Finally it explains how to manage common issues fairly, including discipline, grievances and dismissal, and where to get authoritative help. It is an awareness-level course that builds confidence in the fundamentals; it is not legal advice, and specific cases should always be checked with a qualified adviser.
