This document provides information on employing young workers between the ages of 13 to 21. It outlines that those under 13 cannot be employed, and those aged 13 to 16 are considered child workers whose work cannot impact their health, safety or education. For young workers aged 16 to 21, they have the same rights as adults but there are differences in minimum wage, unfair dismissal, redundancy and working time regulations. Employers are advised to keep notes on any issues that may require future disciplinary action. Contact information is provided for any additional questions.

Editor's Notes
- In the former case, it stated that the equal pay claim must have been in existance at the time of the transfer. The transferee has no obligation to put you on better benefits than you were enjoying before. There is a time llmit of 6 months from the date of transfer I would still advise you to be careful in the long run In the second case, preserving an employees TUPE rights, 2 years on, was a valid defence to an equal pay claim
