A Pay & Work Rights Helpline has been set up by the Government for vulnerable workers to seek advice about their workplace rights and report abuses of those rights where necessary.

The helpline is part of a wider Government campaign to raise awareness of workplace rights, providing a unified point of contact for both employers and workers.

The employment rights covered by the helpline include:

• National Minimum Wage
• Agricultural Minimum Wage
• Working Time (48 hour average working week)
• Employment agency standards
• Gangmaster licensing

Previously, calls on each of these were taken by 5 separate Government bodies. Workers can now report abuses of these rights to one point of contact that can address multiple complaints.

For further information please contact the Pay & Work Rights Helpline on Tel: 0800 917 2368.
