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 ?

Earn money without compromising on your uni experience. Sign up for quick shifts at local businesses at convenient times and locations.

I'd like to suggest that you also share an important LGBTQ online safety guide that came out recently. This guide aims to empower LGBTQs and give them the tools to protect themselves online. https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/lgbtq-guide-online-safety/ I like how they give a few tips and practical suggestions for each situation.
