An employee becomes entitled to
statutory rights (i.e. laid down by law)
upon entering into an employment
contract. A number of these rights
depend upon the employee having attained
a qualifying period of employment. The
main rights are described in more detail
below.
Itemised pay statements.
An itemised pay statement must be issued
to all employees at the time of payment
and must include the following
particulars:
- Gross earnings;
- Net pay;
- Fixed and variable
deductions from gross earning.
If the net pay is paid in
different ways, the amount and
method of payment of each part
payment.
Employees may raise a
complaint with an employment
tribunal if the employer fails
to issue a pay statement or if
the content is in dispute.
