Crown employees 


Crown employees (those who work for government departments and agencies, including civil servants) are entitled to most statutory rights set out in the Employment Rights Act 1996, except for redundancy and collective consultation rights, minimum notice and insolvency payments. Instead they have equivalent or better rights under agreements within their own employment. The redundancy terms of crown employees (and all other public sector workers) have been, and remain, under significant attack by this government. For more information, see Chapter 11: Redundancy.
