i am doing a svq and i have to answer this question and dont really understand it please help !!
Not only the things mentioned in the first answer, such as discrimination, but things like the right to retain your job if you are pregnant, leave if you are about to become a father, a right to (unpaid) leave for "emergency family care" (ie looking after children who are ill or unexpectedly off school), a right to a minimum standard of employment contract, spelling out things like period of notice you must give to terminate, period of notice employer must give of termination or variation of terms, right of young workers to work in conditions which does not interfere with education, disciplinary procedures (warnings, verbal and written), and these must be included in a contract. If they aren't, or if there is no written contract, the law presumes a standard contract as written in the Employment Rights Act. There are also other rights like the working time directive, EU legislation which allows a worker to refuse to be forced to work more than 40 hours per week, unless the job is exempt from the directive (NHS, Forces, Police, food production, work where it is imperative to carry on until the task is complete), the national minimum wage, protection from harassment and constructive dismissal (forcing someone out of their job). Harassment can occur even away from the usual workplace, and allegations can be deemed to be true unless proven false, and employers can be held vicariously liable for the behaviour of their staff to each other.
