Employment Rights Act 1996
The Act consolidates the core rights of employees: the written statement of particulars, protection of wages, family leave, notice, unfair dismissal, the right to a written statement of reasons and redundancy payments. It is the first statute to check in almost any dismissal question in Great Britain.
