Employment rights

Why employment rights matter

We’re making sure every resident understands how they should be protected in employment. Your rights are good for you and good for your employer, as they help to build a stronger, fairer economy. 

From minimum wage to sick pay, your rights aren’t just legal, they’re essential for a fair system. 

Fair pay for a fair day’s work

All employers have to pay the National Minimum Wage but we all know that living in London is more expensive than outside the capital. This is why we encourage all employers in the borough to pay the London Living Wage.

Good employers respect workers’ rights

Respecting rights isn’t just the law, it’s good business. 

Fair treatment builds morale, attracts talent and creates a stronger economy for everyone.
