Labour law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigationJump to search
Labour law (also known as labor law or employment law) mediates the relationship
between workers, employing entities, trade unions and the government. Collective
labour law relates to the tripartite relationship between employee, employer and
union. Individual labour law concerns employees' rights at work also through the
contract for work. Employment standards are social norms (in some cases also
technical standards) for the minimum socially acceptable conditions under which
employees or contractors are allowed to work. Government agencies (such as the
former US Employment Standards Administration) enforce labour law (legislature,
regulatory, or judicial).
