employment law

It is important that you understand both the position of your project or organisation with regard to employees, as well as the rights of your employees.

Good employee management requires an understanding of contracts of employment; statutory rights during employment; discipline, dismissal and redundancy in order to ensure that both you and your employees or volunteers are treated fairly and within the parameters of current employment law.

Getting it right means keeping in touch with developments, thinking out your policies and implementing them with care and understanding.

This section gives links to website which include: understanding contracts of employment; statutory rights during employment; discipline, dismissal and redundancy, disputes and tribunals, and trades union law.
