About this Unit
Work and employment are governed by legislation and require ongoing negotiation among stakeholders, sometimes with the involvement of lawyers and tribunals using dispute resolution techniques. Understanding the principles of labour and employment law helps employment relations professionals define, assess and prioritise issues in terms of their potential legal ramifications. This unit provides a foundation for professionals to balancethe rights and responsibilities of employees and employers under changeable legislative frameworks: from engaging employees, to health, safety and welfare, to performance management, through to termination. Learning strategies include case discussion and investigating resources available for every day professional practice.
