Employment Law deals with the law governing the formation, content and termination of employment relationships. This course will examine the complex integration of the body of federal and state statutes, industrial instruments and the common law contract of employment. Students will gain insight to the formation, duration and termination of an employment contract and the ability to comprehend terms expressed, implied or otherwise incorporated into the contract of employment. Students will be assessed on their understanding of the rights and liabilities of employers and employees under contract, legislation, awards and industrial instruments and what remedies are available to parties for breach of employment contracts, regulations or awards.
