Employment Rights Act 1996 (United Kingdom)(Illustration)

Article Abstract:

The UK's 1996 Employment Rights Act collects various employment laws from throughout the UK and consolidates them into a single format, but makes no important changes to existing law. The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995, the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, the Equal Pay Act 1970, and several other acts are unaffected by this Act. A table is included, providing both quick reference and section-by-section guides to the Act and its provisions.
