What are my TUPE rights when my job transfers?
If your job transfers under TUPE, your contract usually goes with it. Keep your payslips and rota, ask both employers what is changing, and get advice before signing a cut.

IR35: when do off-payroll rules apply?
Taxed like an employee does not mean protected like one. Check who must decide your status, what can come off your fee and how to challenge it.
Are unpaid internships legal in the UK?
Your job title does not cancel your right to minimum wage. Check your duties, save the evidence and act before the claim deadline.
Am I an employee, worker or self-employed?
Freelance workers can have rights to minimum wage and paid holiday. Your rights depend on the job you actually do, not the label on your contract.
Who owns intellectual property created at work?
Your employer may own work you create for the job. That does not give them your every idea, your future skills or the right to silence a protected disclosure.
What are my part-time worker rights in the UK?
Fewer hours do not mean fewer rights. Check your pay, holiday and pension, then take the first step to challenge unfair treatment before a deadline runs out.
What is casual employment? Your rights on ad hoc shifts
A casual contract can leave you waiting for work. It cannot wipe out your rights to wages and holiday. Here is what you can claim, and where the gaps remain.
Seasonal and temporary contracts: what rights apply?
Your job may last six weeks. Your employer still owes you proper pay and paid holiday. Check your status, your payslip and what happens at the end.
Fixed-term contract rights
A temporary job does not mean second-class rights. Check your terms, save the evidence and challenge unequal treatment or non-renewal before the deadline.
Probation periods: what rights do I have?
Probation does not cancel your rights. Check your notice clause today, save your rota and payslips, and do not let a dismissal deadline run out.
Agency workers: what rights do they have?
Your rights on the first shift, what changes after 12 weeks, and who is responsible when pay or safety falls short.
Freelancer contracts: what terms matter?
Agree what you will deliver, when you will be paid and who can use the work. A self-employed label cannot take away rights you have in law.
