Employment Law

What are the key sources of legal rights and obligations for employers and employees? What are some of the main legal rights of which employers need to be aware?

Recognising that HR practice often involves a legal dimension, this program has been designed to provide HR practitioners with the ability to recognise and respond to the legal aspects of common workplace issues.

The benefits:

• Identify the various sources of legal rights and obligations for employers and employees
• Recognise what the common law is and how it affects employment rights and obligations
• Outline where to find applicable legislation and identify which industrial instruments apply to employees
• Determine how the contract of employment, legislation and other industrial instruments interact

Organisations will benefit from a greater level of comfort with legal compliance and therefore the reduced risk of legal liability.
