Topic > Labor Law - 1819

IntroductionLabor law or labor law as it stands historically concerns workplace regulations. That is, it creates rights and responsibilities in the employment relationship between employers and employees. It is often suggested that it refers to a cycle, an ever-evolving movement involving three tasks: creation, maintenance and termination of the employment relationship. “Employment creation involves the recruitment and selection of employees, employment retention involves contractual terms and conditions or statutory rights, and termination of employment includes dismissals and potential disputes” (Hardy and Upex, 2006, p.1 ). Therefore, “employment law constitutes the broad body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents that encompass all areas of the employment or employer relationship” (Haynes and Boone, 2002). In the context of individual employment law, the Employment Rights Act (ERA) 1996 is the primary legislation which deals with, among other things, legislation relating to: unfair dismissal; redundancy; notification rights; wage protection; protected disclosure; working time; maternity, adoption and parental leave. At a collective level, the Trade Unions and Employment Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (TULRCA) and the Employment Relations Acts 1999 and 2004 (ERelAct) cover, among other things, the law governing trade unions, their relationships with their members and employers, collective action and bargaining, including an important area of ​​statutory recognition of trade unions contained in Schedule A1 of the Act. Employment Law Issues at Fresco SupermarketAlthough not much information is provided regarding Fresco's employment issues, this civil case will be based on the law of tort when a wrong of negligence is evident. If an employee is injured… middle of paper… and dies due to a psychological illness. Conclusion From the above cases, laws and facts discussed, personal injury to Fresco Supermarket during work to their employee Alan is witnessed. This is due to the fact that a customer came to shop on a scooter. As a result, Alan suffers from psychological distress caused by both personal injury and discrimination or harassment by colleagues; and worse, when reporting to the manger no action is taken. This is evidenced by the weight loss and strange behavior demonstrated by Alan following the accident. Furthermore, he lost his job and therefore must be compensated. Basing my opinion on the facts, Alan has suffered personal injury so he deserves to be compensated for general damages arising from any personal injury he suffered and special damages as compensation for actual financial loss.
