Labor Law Services
What Is Labor Law?
Labor Law is a set of legal rules that govern the relationship between employers and employees. It aims to regulate both individual labor relations (between an employer and an employee) and collective labor relations (between groups of employees and employers). It defines the rights and obligations of each party within the workplace, including wages, occupational health and safety, working hours, rest periods, and related matters. Labor Law is considered one of the branches of private law.
Labor disputes and conflicts that employers or employees may find themselves involved in are countless and sometimes difficult to anticipate. In many cases, some employers are eager to terminate employees immediately (for one reason or another), often attempting to circumvent provisions of the Labor Law that explicitly prohibit such conduct—actions that are legally classified as unfair or arbitrary dismissal.
Whether you are an employer, a human resources manager, or an employee, it is essential to understand that the key to avoiding potential labor-related legal disputes lies in establishing a solid foundation through a well-drafted employment agreement (employment contract) duly signed by both parties.
