EMPLOYMENT & YOUR RIGHTS
Recently I have heard that some employers are not acting within the law when it comes to student employment . The sort of thing i am talking about is lack of work breaks , trial shifts ( not paid ), lack of training / health and hygiene / late payment or not being paid correctly or even not at all . Business of all kinds has had a hard time over the Covid period but so have you. Should you let employers get away with it they will believe that they can continue acting in this way or even in a worse way . I would be interested should you have a story along these lines and if you resolved it and how ?
