Labour and Employment Law

Labor and employment Law is a comprehensive area of law and has undergone fundamental changes under the influence of EU legislation on free movement of employees.  The interests of various stakeholders must be taken into account: social partners, employees, business and government.  Aspects of outplacement are often raised during labor litigation.

Labor law or employment law guards all connections between employers, employees, trade unions and the government.  The differences in the labor law or employment law among the EU-countries may influence the selection of employment structure and in particular, the possible detachment of employees.

Labor and employment law has per essence a national character and national laws should be looked at in first instance.  Very often labor and employment law in developing countries is part of a broader scope such as the BEE regulations in South Africa.
