They get standard employment rights, and have done for decades.

They are employees of the Royal Household.

I believe it was the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Act (TURERA) 1993 that confirmed that those rights applied. Before that, it was a bit of a muddle as to what did and didn't apply.

I guess the employees in the private residences, like Balmoral, are under different contracts, but they will get the same employment rights.

Ok, so does that mean that they didn’t up to 1993?
 
From what I understand, there is a difference between the 'official' residences which belong to the state, and the 'private' residences which belong(ed) to HMtQ as an individual.

I'm not an expert on these things, but presume there's some flunkeys that are effectively employed by the state / government, others employed by the household.

Guardian was reporting in July 2022 that the monarch is exempt from a lot of laws including workers' rights.

The monarch is exempt and so are some members of the Royal Family, I assume, but the staff who work in the official palaces are employed by an organisation called the Royal Household or something like that, and they have workers rights. Including the right to join a trade union, which many of them do.
I don't know about the staff employed in the private residences, but I would expect that they are employed by the household, rather than directly by the monarch.

There is a further load of people who are employed by the Crown Estate, which are neither part of the Royal Household. nor employed in the private residences. They run the various royal parks and buildings which are not lived in by any royal bods. They also have employment rights, and are members of trade unions. I represented some of them, years ago, when there was a restructuring happening.
