Young employees miss out on key employment rights at work

A new TUC report has revealed that nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) of young employees aged 16 to 24 miss out on key employment rights at work. The TUC noted that while some workplace rights for employees begin from day one of employment, others only kick in after two years of continuous service – including protection from unfair dismissal and the right to statutory redundancy pay.
