The understanding of employment law can be a very confusing aspect within the workplace for all involved. Different issues which arise-whether from the side of the employer or employee must be dealt with in an appropriate manner in order for both parties to successfully resolve their issues and move on. In most cases, issues within the workplace can be settled by your company's human resources department. However, in the event that your company does not have this department, knowing how you can legally enquire about your issues is crucial to ensure that you follow the correct proceedings and can gain any compensation that is entitled to you. This area covers all aspects of employment law from contracts to correct disciplinary action and correct dismissal to a post to having your contract terminated successfully.
