Employment Law
Employing someone to work for you gives them certain rights, and you also have certain responsibilities, all covered by employment law. Scotland, of course, comes under the same broad laws governing employment that England, Wales and Northern Ireland do.
Wages:
Being employed means you receive a wage for work done. The wage should be commensurate with the skills of the employee and should be at least equal to the industry standard for the type of work. Employment law, Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, demands that all employees are given at least the minimum wage where it is applicable.
Pay Slips:
It is part of employment law that an employee must receive a written statement of their pay and the deductions made. The payslip should include the gross pay, all deductions made, such as tax, social security payments, etc, and the net pay, or take home pay. The pay slip may also include such information as the employee’s National Insurance number and tax code.
Contract of Employment:
Employment law states that an employee must receive a written contract of employment, or at least the main terms of the contract, within two months of starting work. The terms of the contract are the details, which are things like the rights and duties of the employee, and the rights and responsibilities of the employer.
