Employment Legislation
As you will be aware, there are laws employers need to be aware of regarding their employees- not least of which is mandatory Employers Liability Insurance.
Some laws also specifically cover the employment of young people. Although this area is not intended to give you the full chapter and verse on employment law, we have put together some information on the areas relating to young people that we are asked about most frequently.
