Pay and Work Rights Helpline

'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.
