Working parents and teenage employees are better protected at work since Sunday thanks to a range of new rights.
To help workers better understand how they are affected, the TUC has produced five leaflets, covering adoption, maternity and paternity leave and pay, flexible working for parents and young workers.
General secretary elect Brendan Barber said: "There's a great deal of information to take in, much of which is extremely complex.
"The easy-to-understand guides offer the perfect solution for individuals wanting to understand their new rights and for employers keen to get on top of their new responsibilities."
The free guides are available from 0870 6004882.
