the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Standard Chartered PLC. It applies to every employer in London.
| Partner leave | 2 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
|---|---|
| State pension | auto-enrolment: employer contributes at least 3% of qualifying earnings (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Disability rights at work | Equality Act 2010: disability is a protected characteristic and s.20 imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Neurodivergent adjustments | Reasonable adjustments are owed on the IMPACT of a condition, not on a diagnosis. ACAS is explicit that no formal diagnosis is required, so the duty can arise before anyone has been assessed -- which matters when an adult autism assessment is a multi-year wait. Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia are covered where the effect on day-to-day activities is substantial and long-term. Asking for an adjustment is itself protected: you cannot lawfully be dismissed or treated worse for asking. (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| State school fees | state schools free; independent schools are unsubsidised (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Path to citizenship | Five years plus 12 months' settled status (indefinite leave to remain), with Life in the UK and English B1 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
