Employment Legislation
Employment legislation is the law that governs employment within the workplace with everyone who works. Obviously this affects the employer, employees and unions directly.
The role of employment law is to ensure that it identifies who can and cannot be employed, how they are offered a job and treated during this process of engagement and the minimum terms and conditions under which they can work, the duties that the employer and employee owe each other and the rules that apply when either party wants this employment relationship to end.
Employment legislation seems to be constantly involving, becoming more controversial due to the impacts it may have on the businesses and public concerns.
