(ACAS, nd) Access to the factory floor is via a flight of stairs without a lift making it unsuitable for a person with a disability resulting in a violation of discrimination regulations of disabled people who are also governed by the Equality Act 2010. They must also be aware of the Equal Pay Act under which men and women receive equal treatment in the terms and conditions of their employment contract. All employees must have an employment contract with their employer that sets out their rights, responsibilities, working conditions and duties. The company employs full-time and part-time workers, and most of the part-time employees are teenagers. All employee working hours, holidays and timed breaks are regulated by the Working Time Directive or Working Time Regulations and some of these regulations differ for employees aged 16-17 and limit the amount of hours they can legally work. The company may not meet the national minimum wage to which most workers will be entitled with rates that also differ based on age and as of 1 October 2014 these rates have changed. AB Engineering
