Employment Rights deals with all the issues that may arise during the existence of an employment relationship, from the moment an employee applies for a job, to the moment the relationship is terminated. Topics covered include the nature, scope and effect of employment contracts, unfair labour practices, discrimination, affirmative action, unemployment insurance, health and safety in the workplace, and skills development. This volume is a companion to three others (Dismissal, Collective Labour Law, and Labour Litigation and Dispute Resolution), which together provide a comprehensive overview of the entire body of current labour law.
