Employment Law

Employment law covers a wide range of legal issues that affect both employees and employers in the workplace. Employment law governs any worker or job seeker, including people working in agriculture, domestic work, and educational settings.

This also includes teaching and research, as well as:

  • Government agencies such as police officers and soldiers
  • Hospital workers such as nurses and doctors
  • Independent contractors such as plumbers
  • Taxi drivers and other transportation workers
  • Religious organisations
  • Members of the media such as journalists, sportspeople, and entertainers.

Do You Need To Hire an Employment Lawyer?

The idea of hiring an employment lawyer can be daunting for anyone. Some individuals will use specific lawyers to handle their personal affairs. Others may attempt to represent themselves in court proceedings should they ever find themselves involved in a case that necessitates legal representation.

Employment law covers many areas, and you could need a firm whether you’re an employer or an employee. Most individuals need to hire employment lawyers at some point in their lives, but the principles are fairly simple.

What Does Employment Law Cover?

Employment law covers contracts, recruitment, compensation, corporate restructuring, and other major issues that affect both employers and employees. The following are some of the types of cases you may find yourself involved in if you’re an employer or employee:

  • Discrimination of various types
  • Wage and salary disputes
  • Leave issues such as bereavement, sabbaticals, maternity/paternity leave, sick pay
  • Negligent hiring
  • Whistleblowing claims
