Within our diverse HR offering, Kays are proud to support businesses that need employment law support.
Employment law governs what employers within the UK can expect from employees, what employers can ask employees to do and employees’ rights at work. Let us help you in your time of need.
Within the UK, employment law changes regularly. This is often as a response to major events such as Brexit or COVID-19, or because of a change in government. Employment law changes can make managing your business more difficult, but it is also put in place so that employees and employers know their rights.
As employment law includes a vast range of legislation, you are not likely to have to deal with all areas. As a business, you need to understand the legislation around equal pay, employment contracts, maternity and paternity leave, holiday entitlement and pay and discrimination. Although it may seem complicated, UK employment legislation protects your business while keeping the employment relationship fair for both parties.
When you work with Kays for employment law support, we will keep track of the changing laws so that you don’t have to. Let us help you respond appropriately when new legislation comes in force, with your people and the business at the core of all action taken. We will help you comply with current law whilst keeping your policies and practices up to date.

Employment laws within the UK govern different aspects of how you should behave as an employer. You may be more familiar with some than others. Below, we have outlined some of the major employment laws that apply to UK business owners and employers.
Employment Relations Act 1999 – This law established a number of legal rights including the recognition of trade union bodies, the right for an employee to be accompanied during a disciplinary hearing and the right to maternity leave.
Employment Rights Act 1996 – The Employment Rights Act 1996 is a comprehensive act that covers all employment rights including contracts, unfair dismissal, parental leave and redundancy.
Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations 1999 – This act outlines the rights that new parents have when taking time off work following a new baby. By law, employees with children under the age of 18 are allowed to take up to 18 weeks off work unpaid throughout the year to look after their families.
National Minimum Wage Act 1998 – Minimum wage varies depending on age and must be paid. Employees over the age of 23 are legally obliged to receive the National Living Wage.
Part-Time Workers Regulations 2000 – This law ensures that part time workers within the UK receive equal treatment to full time members of staff.
Transfer of Undertakings Regulations 2006 – TUPE regulations protect employee rights during a business transfer, such as when a new company has bought an existing company.
