Hiring in the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is home to a well-educated and adaptable workforce that is capable of supporting a wide range of businesses and organizations.

However, its labor laws can be complicated. Employment relationships in the UK are governed by the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Equality Act 2010, and various statutory instruments, as well as common law principles and individual contracts. The Employment Rights Act serves as the primary legal framework, outlining workers’ rights, employer obligations, and procedures for labor disputes.
