From your first day, you may have rights including the National Minimum Wage, paid holiday, rest breaks, a payslip and protection from discrimination. Employees should also receive a written statement of key employment terms, usually on or before their first day. Your rights depend on whether you are an employee, worker or contractor, and some protections require a minimum period of service. Check the latest guidance on GOV.UK or Acas, and consider advice from a solicitor regulated by the SRA if you think your rights have been breached.
