Employment and Labour laws

Employment and labour laws have a social welfare element attached to them and  as such deal with all aspects relating to employment, the terms and conditions of employment, the working conditions, relationship between labour unions, employee and an employer. Issues like pensions, retirement benefits, gender discrimination, maternity leave, workplace safety are some other aspects governed by employment law. Various Statutes have been enacted covering the key aspects of employment and labour laws, some of them being hours of work, medical leave, disability claims, and discrimination of any kind at the workplace.

Globally the employment and labour laws are basically enacted on similar principles, some of the principles being minimum wages to be given to the employee, parity between the pay of men and women, safeguarding the occupational health of the worker. Workers' Compensation laws establish an administrative procedure for compensating workers injured on the job and ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with monetary awards thereby reducing the need for litigation.
