Free employment law guidance from LawConnect's AI assistant

UK employees have numerous rights including protection from unfair dismissal (after qualifying periods), minimum wage entitlements, statutory holiday pay, reasonable notice periods, protection from discrimination, and safe working conditions. The Employment Rights Act 1996 and Equality Act 2010 provide key protections. Our AI assistant can explain how these rights apply to your specific situation.

Dismissal without warning may be lawful in cases of gross misconduct, but most dismissals require proper procedures including investigations, disciplinary hearings, and reasonable notice periods. Summary dismissal is only justified in serious circumstances. Our legal chat assistant can help you understand whether your dismissal followed proper procedures and whether you might have grounds for an unfair dismissal claim.

Workplace discrimination occurs when you're treated less favourably because of protected characteristics including age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, marriage status, pregnancy, or gender reassignment. This includes direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. The AI assistant can explain these concepts and help you identify whether treatment you've experienced might constitute discrimination.

The AI assistant provides general legal information to help you understand UK employment law topics, but it cannot provide personalised legal advice specific to your individual circumstances. It explains legal principles, rights, and procedures to help you understand your position. If you require tailored legal advice, we can connect you with an experienced employment law solicitor.
