    Labour law defines the legal relationship between employers and employees. It aims to balance the interests of employees and employers through sources like legislation, collective bargaining, and court rulings. Labour law covers topics such as contracts of employment, which outline the terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties. A contract of employment must have essential elements like offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations for it to be valid. Contracts also contain express terms that are explicitly stated and implied terms that are assumed. Employment can be terminated through resignation, dismissal, or retirement. Dismissal requires grounds such as misconduct or poor performance. Misconduct refers to improper behaviors and can justify immediate termination.
