Whether an intern has employment rights will depend on their employment status. If they are classified as an employee or worker they will be entitled to certain employment rights (eg sick pay, unfair dismissal rights and holiday pay). Where interns are classed as volunteers (as is the case when using this internship agreement), they will typically not be entitled to any specific employment rights or bound by any statutory responsibilities. Therefore it is important to set out the terms of their work experience in this agreement. Read Hiring an intern for more information.
