New graduate empolyee make sure you know your employment rights!!




If you are a recent graduate who is looking for work or have been recently been employed make sure you know what your employment rights are!! You may start in a junior position but everyone is given a job contract this includes basic rights like pay,annual leave and sick leave , number of working hours etc . If you feel terms of your work contract aren't being met bring this up with your manager first and then your company's human resources if necessary. Please see link below about employment rights

If you feel you are being overworked, or feel you are being treated unfairly by any superiors don't jump in at the deep end straight away. Firstly note down anything that feels inappropriate to you look over it a few days later and perhaps discuss it someone who is outside your work environment who may give you a more impartial view on the situation. If your work or people at work are really making you feel unhappy its best you talk to someone as soon as possible. Being stressed at work can sometimes effect your mood socially. At the end of the day we all have to work but make sure you are able to separate between the two in a healthy manner and don't let things get on top of you.
