Workplace Rights
Understanding workplace rights is especially important in the hospitality industry, where zero-hours contracts, long shifts, variable schedules and high staff turnover are common. Knowing your rights around pay, breaks, contracts, discrimination, sick leave and fair treatment can help women feel more confident, protected and able to challenge issues safely.
