Employment Law
Protecting employee rights and ensuring fair treatment in the workplace. We represent both employees and employers in employment disputes and compliance matters.
What is Employment Law?
Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees. It sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties in the workplace, covering everything from hiring and wages to workplace safety and termination.
This area of law exists to ensure fair treatment in the workplace. It protects employees from discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics. It establishes minimum standards for wages, working hours, and workplace safety. It also provides remedies when employers violate these protections.
For employers, employment law provides guidance on creating lawful workplace policies, proper hiring and termination procedures, and compliance with various regulations. Understanding these rules helps businesses avoid costly lawsuits and create positive work environments.
Employment law covers the entire employment relationship - from job advertisements and interviews, through the employment period, to resignation or termination. It includes both individual rights and collective rights (such as the right to form or join unions).
