GM Pay and Employment Rights Advice Service

Greater Manchester Pay and Employment Rights Advice Service is what was formerly known as Greater Manchester Low Pay Unit. The organisation has been providing employment rights advice and undertaking research into aspects of the labour market and low pay for the last 20 years.

Greater Manchester Pay and Employment Rights Advice Service exists to improve working conditions for the most vulnerable members of the workforce by providing employment rights advice, representing the interests of low-paid workers in debate on social and economic policies, and promoting greater public awareness of poverty and injustice.

We provide free, confidential Employment Advice, Information and Support to anyone in Greater Manchester who is experiencing problems at work or who wants to know what their rights are. To contact an Employment Rights Adviser ring 0161 839 3888.

We also produce a number of leaflets and factsheets dealing with a wide range of employment issues.

‘Jobwatch’ is a unique survey of job vacancies in Greater Manchester jobcentres which we produce each year. The survey details rates of pay and makes comparisons of labour market trends since 1989. It is an invaluable resource for agencies and individuals with an interest in economic development and the changing patterns of employment in Greater Manchester. If you would like to receive a copy of Jobwatch 2005 ring the office or email info@gmemploymentrights.org.uk

For further information about the research we are currently involved with or to receive reports of previous pieces of research please contact the research worker on the office number.

If you want to organise training in your workplace or to others we can provide training on a wide range of employment issues. Contact the office for further details.
