<p>It doesn’t matter what job you do or what industry you do it in, as an employee you will have a number of rights and responsibilities. Many of those will be set out in your contract of employment and can range from your day-to-day role, to what procedure will be followed in the event of disciplinary action, promotion, pay increases and maternity or sick leave.</p>
<p>Your contract will provide details of what you’re entitled to, such as minimum pay or bonuses. It also sets out what your responsibilities are including, hours, role, any health and safety responsibilities, disclosure of wrongdoing, looking after an employer’s property or other assets and not working against your employer while you are contracted to work for them.</p>
<p>You might not be aware of it but many of these rights and responsibilities are also enshrined in law. If something goes wrong, be it with the employer or the employee, you will have rights under the law to resolve it. </p>
<p>Most of the time, any issues that arise can be resolved internally without the need to resort to the courts. But if you need specific guidance on an issue, from recruitment to retirement, it can be difficult to know where to go for advice. What are your pension entitlements under UK law? What happens if you have a grievance and how do you proceed? If you find yourself unfairly dismissed what can you do about it?</p>
