'Vulnerable workers' can get advice about their workplace rights and report abuses of those rights through a new free helpline. The new Pay and Work Rights Helpline is part of a wider campaign to raise awareness of workplace rights.
Pay and Work Rights Helpline
Pay and work rights advice

'Vulnerable workers' are defined as people with little knowledge of their rights, who find it hard to access advice and do not have the ability to protect themselves against rights abuses.
The new Pay and Work Rights Helpline is free to call and will provide these people with advice on:
- National Minimum Wage
- working hour limits
- employment agencies
- Agricultural Minimum Wage
- working for a gangmaster
Before now, calls on these rights were handled by five different government bodies. Workers can now report abuses of these rights to one point of contact that can deal with several complaints.
To contact the Pay and Work Rights Helpline, call 0800 917 2368, or 0800 121 4042 for textphone.
Information on pay and work rights is also available online by following the link below.
