They have the same rights as any other employee in the UK and also based on what is contained in your contract. No special provision for a Tier 2 Migrant really. Tier 2 G is only a visa allowing you to work.

The issue for Tier 2 / 5 employees is that a Sponsor can stop sponsoring you at any point thus ending your employment for the simple lack of having the right to work. They don't have to give a reason to UKVI, they can just withdraw their sponsorship and thereafter the visa will be curtailed ceasing your right to work.

Some employers have used / taken this option as it is a method of ensuring they can let the employee go without any recourse by the employee to an Employment Tribunal. An ET does not have the right to impose a sanction on an employer to issue a COS, maintain their licence or meet the needs for a future extension e.g. Increase the salary to meet the visa conditions.

So on paper Tier 2/5 employees have the same rights as UK/EEA staff however those rights are diminished in real terms as there is the option to make an individual unemployable by virtu of the loss of sponsorship.
