Lone Parents: Know Your Rights at Work!

With increasing numbers of lone parents being encouraged to return to employment under the government's welfare reform, it is vital to understand your rights and obligations as an employee.

One Parent Families Scotland has produced two new factsheets: Your Rights at Work and A Guide to Time Off Work. "These two publications are essential reading for anyone getting back into the workplace" commented Susan Rew, Information & Training Manager. "They cover the different types of leave and absence from work, Working Time Regulations, alterations to a contract of employment, dismissal, redundancy, discipline and how to sort out problems with your employer." In addtion, there is a useful list of organisations that can provide further information and support.

To obtain a free copy of either of these factsheets, phone the Lone Parent Helpline on 0808 801 0323 or download them from here:
