The relationship between employer and employee is based on a contract. This module is concerned with that contract, tracing the contract from its inception to its termination. The course begins by identifying a contract of employment. It examines the formation, enforceability and fundamental terms (the right to wages, and the employer's duty to maintain the employee's trust and confidence) of a contract of employment. It reviews the law relating to the termination of a contract by dismissal. Finally, it treats the perpetuation of a contract of employment, following the replacement of the original employer, under the law on the protection of employees' rights following the transfer of an undertakings. The mode of delivery is blended, combining live lectures, seminars and pre-recordings.
