Download or read book The New Employment Contract written by Patricia Leighton and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking text for managers, personnel professionals and students is the first to bring together the creative detail of employment contract law with the wider agendas of modern management and EU influences. Contracts in their various forms are the key item that underpins all employment relationships and the capability to anticipate and endure change as well as avoiding disputes. If disputes arise the well crafted and well managed contract might itself provide the solution. The book analyses the way contracts are drafted and managed. It explores the way in which contracts can be used effectively to translate and reflect organizational policies and respond to external imperatives, especially often fast moving employment law itself. It deals with many of the practical issues facing managers - flexible contracts, managing employee performance, dealing with misconduct and ending contracts effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analytical book examines how the common law of the employment contract is likely to evolve. Tracing the radical evolution of this area over the last 40 years, it explores how many of the changes in common law have been triggered by the judicial ‘discovery’ of the key attributes of the relationship. The author concludes that these key attributes of the contract, including the imbalance of power between employee and employer, are likely to remain the key driver for change.

Download or read book The Employment Contract and the Changed World of Work written by Stella Vettori and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of work has undergone major changes in the last two decades. This book examines these changes in their international context. It is argued that collective bargaining should no longer be viewed as the most important means of regulating the employment relationship. In the changed world of work such an approach is becoming less relevant. Instead, other means of protecting legitimate worker interests are explored. These include: an adaptation and extension of the general principles of the law of contract; a constitutional right to fair labour practices; and the pursuit of good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. The conclusion is that these alternative means of addressing legitimate worker interests can play a valuable role in filling the vacuum left by the worldwide decline of trade unions.

Download or read book Social Security Outside the Realm of the Employment Contract written by Mies Westerveld and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world countries face the challenge of inadequate social security coverage for workers without an employment contact. In countries of the global south, this phenomenon is a natural consequence of large informal economies.

Download or read book The Employment Contract written by Warren Freedman and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-10-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written as a comprehensive reference for personnel managers, vice presidents in charge of human resources, and for practicing attorneys, The Employment Contract addresses both the historical development of the employer-employee relationship and current legal practice. In addition to thorough coverage of the many legal and nonlegal concepts and precedents involved, Freedman also offers in-depth analysis of such timely issues as the impact of AIDS on anti-discrimination statutes and problems of sexual harassment in the workplace. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with ample references to applicable case law. Freedman begins by exploring the traditional master-servant relationship and its impact on beginning concepts of the employment contract. He goes on to trace the law's response to various issues affecting the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees including the termination and dismissal of employees; age, racial, sexual, and religious discrimination; the discriminatory problems of the handicapped; and other federal statutes such as unemployment compensation, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). In a separate chapter devoted to workplace injuries, federal statutes such as Workmens' Compensation and the Federal Employers' Liability Act also receive thorough treatment. The volume concludes with comprehensive discussions of liability to third parties, noncompetitive covenants, unions, and migrant and alien employees.
Download or read book The New Employment Relationship written by Anne Meier and published by Dike Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Flexibilisation," the leitmotiv of contemporary employment, is used by policy makers, employers, human resource managers, and the European money lenders. Part-time employment, limited-duration contracts, temporary work, and freelancing are only a few examples among the "new" forms of employment contracts. But, what does this word actually mean in terms of employment and labor law? Using a comparative legal methodology with a focus on Swiss law, this study shows how flexibility challenges the three levels which, together, form the employment relationship: the law of the individual work contract (employment law), the law of collective bargaining (labor law), and social security law (in particular, old-age and unemployment insurance). Inspired by the Decent Work principles of the International Labor Organization, the book explores how the law can newly define the employment relationship and its contents. The study aims to grasp a definition of the new employment relationship and its contents, as well as to encourage more flexibility in social security systems as a counter-part to the flexibility in the individual employment relationship. The features of the "new" employment relationship thereby appear as possibly combining the wishes of flexibility and the social protection of the worker.

Download or read book Regulation of Fixed term Employment Contracts written by Roger Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades enterprises worldwide have reaped advantages of hiring employees on a contractual fixed-term basis, thus derogating from their traditional participation in the social protection of workers and insulating themselves from legal liability for unjust dismissal. A broad spectrum of effectiveness has emerged in this development, as different countries have adopted varying measures to regulate the conditions under which fixed- term employment contracts are written, applied, and interpreted. This important book --- which reprints papers submitted to the 10th Comparative Labour Law Seminar of the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training held in Tokyo on 8 and 9 March 2010 - details the regulatory approaches to fixed-term contracts in major industrial jurisdictions in Asia and Europe, providing an opportunity to explore normative directions for labour law and policy in the age of a diversified workforce. Nine Knowledgeable and experienced contributors describe and analyse the legal status of fixed-term employment contracts (including relevant case law) in Australia, Britain, China, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan. Each author takes into account evaluations from scholars, policymakers, and stakeholders to his or her country's regulatory approach to fixed-term employment contracts, revealing an array of responses ranging from a view that such contracts enhance employment opportunities in society to advocating suppression of their use as inherently abusive and discriminatory. The combined effect of these nine essays is to greatly increase our awareness of the nature of fixed-term employment contracts, from their fundamental value as social policy instruments to their inextricable connection with the law of dismissal. The book sets the stage for deeper and more firmly grounded work that promises to elucidate the underlying pattern of a new employer-employee relationship emerging on a worldwide scale.
Download or read book The Contract of Employment written by Alan Bogg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contract of employment is the central legal institution of modern English employment law. It provides the foundation upon which most statutory employment rights are constructed; it provides a conduit for the implementation of norms negotiated in collective bargaining; and it continues to provide a contractual structure for the terms and conditions of employment for a significant proportion of the working population. The Contract of Employment provides the most ambitious and comprehensive treatise on the theoretical and doctrinal aspects of the English contract of employment in the common law world. Under the general editorship of Professor Mark Freedland, the text has been produced by a team of world leading experts in employment law. Part I examines the theoretical context to the contract of employment, studying its structure and development from a wide variety of theoretical and comparative perspectives. Part II provides an exposition and analysis of the doctrinal aspects of the contract of employment. The coverage of The Contract of Employment is unrivalled in its depth, detail and sophistication. The legal analysis is always informed by a keen sense of the modern labour market context of the contract of employment, and it is sensitive to contemporary challenges such as precariousness, the interaction with migration law, the role of legislation in the contract of employment, and the decline of collective bargaining. It will be the principal reference point for the practitioners, judges, and academics concerned with the contract of employment as a legal category, both nationally and internationally.
