IntroductionThe sources of the United Kingdom, employment is majorly based on the judicial precedence i.e.the common law, along with the statues and the European legislation. There are a number of legislation for the protection of the employment, but based on the case study provided, the legislations which can govern this type of situations are, Equal Pay Act 1970 [CITATION Equ70\l 1033 ], Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974[ CITATION UKG74 \l 1033 ], Sex Discrimination Act 1975[ CITATION UKG751 \l 1033 ], Employment Tribunals Act 1996[ CITATION UKG961 \l 1033 ], Employment Rights Act 1996[ CITATION UKG962 \l 1033 ], National Minimum Wage Act 1998[ CITATION UKG981 \l 1033 ], Human Rights Act 1998[ CITATION UKG982 \l 1033 ], Employment Act 2002[ CITATION UKG022 \l 1033 ],Equality Act 2010 [ CITATION UKG10 \l 1033 ], and Employment Relations Act 2004Page | 2
