1	Acas - Rights at Work Most people are entitled to certain statutory rights, although often qualifying conditions must be fulfilled before a right may be claimed. Some rights apply to all employees as soon as they start work; others depend on factors such as length of service, continuity of employment and activities in addition to the job (eg union work). Most rights apply only to employees but some apply to wider groups of workers.	199

9	WorkRep- Free legal information, advice and representation for workers WorkRep publishes employment law information, updates and the latest case decisions. We advise employees and workers in general throughout their tribunal cases and also represent them at employment tribunal (ET). In the first instance WorkRep attempts to help workers by way of negotiation with employers which can bring about a settlement acceptable to both sides that is less stressful to all involved. Agreeing a settlement with your employer does not mean that the results are any inferior to those obtained by way of going to a tribunal hearing. The opposite can be true.	203
10	WorkSMART from the TUC Most problems at work can be sorted out without going to law. This will always be a last resort and is never easy. But it always helps to know where you stand, even if you are just having an informal chat with your boss. And of course the worst can happen. Then you need to know your legal rights in a hurry, or know where to go to take further advice.	209
