Hide-This ten-week course will familiarise students with the contents, sources and relevant procedures in Employment Law and will enable them to access and evaluate new legislation or case law. In turn, participants can advise management on the relevant issues, and assist in development of new policies and procedures for their organisations in an evolving legal environment.

This is a short course, and so there are no pre-requisites. Students will be expected to attend all the lectures, to engage with relevant participative learning exercises, to read relevant case law and legislation, and to participate in class discussions. At the end of the course, students will be expected to be able to outline the nine grounds of discrimination and harassment, explain what is meant by fairness of procedures, describe the various elements of a contract, provide an account of the various protective employment statutes, and outline how a contract of employment may be terminated.
