Detailed Information

LAW30170 - Employment Law: the Contract of Employment (Audit) - 2017

The relationship between employer and employee is based on a contract. This module is concerned with that contract, tracing the contract from its inception to its termination. The course begins by identifying a contract of employment. It examines the formation, enforceability and fundamental terms (the right to wages, and the employer's duty to maintain the employee's trust and confidence) of a contract of employment. It reviews the law relating to the termination of a contract by dismissal. Finally, it treats the perpetuation of a contract of employment, following the replacement of the original employer, under the law on the protection of employees' rights following the transfer of an undertakings.
