Legal Controls Over Employment Issues And Their Impact On Employers And Employees:
Overview
What stops an employer paying a worker almost nothing, sacking someone without reason, or refusing to hire a person because of their gender? The answer is the law. Across the world, governments set legal controls that protect workers and shape how every business must treat its staff.
In this lesson you will learn the main legal controls over employment: employment contracts, unfair dismissal, discrimination, health and safety, and the legal minimum wage. You will also learn how these laws affect both employers and employees, the protection they give and the costs they create.
