Details

This handy new book is crammed with real-life examples of the problems that can arise on entering, during and terminating an employment relationship. Set out in a question-and-answer format, it uses practical examples of situations that commonly arise and illustrates employer and employee rights and obligations in those circumstances.

The easy-reference Q&A format makes this book an indispensable aid for lawyers, human resource practitioners, payroll staff, employers and employees. The variety of topics covered and range of complexity ensure there is something for everyone.

Each chapter focuses on a specific area of employment law and begins with a brief outline of the current legislation, providing a background for the questions and answers that follow.

Topics covered include:

the status and identity of the parties (Who is the employer? Is this worker an employee or a contractor?)
the impact of the principles of contract law on an employment relationship
the various types of employment agreement
the law on wages
the law on holidays and leave
the need for policies (drugs and social networking in particular)
the law on discrimination and privacy
the various types of problems that arise in the course of employment and how to deal with those problems
the various ways in which an employment relationship can terminate and the processes to be followed.
