Employment law

The employment relationship is heavily regulated, with legislation and case law underpinning every aspect of employing and managing staff.

Specific legislation dictates what must be contained in the employment contract; on what grounds employees can be fairly dismissed; limits on how long employees can work; specific provisions regarding part-time and fixed-term employees and agency workers; how staff data must be stored and limits regarding disclosure; and specific protection of employees transferring to another employer following a sale of a business or outsourcing of a service.

As well as the large amount of legislation, employment law changes frequently. As such it is understandable when businesses struggle to keep up to date with it all.
