Document Summary

Next week: no class on tuesday, midterm feedback on thursday. Mismatch between what science knows and what business does. If/then rewards work very well when: simple set of rules; mechanical tasks. The 3 regimes of employment law: the common law of employment. Implied contract terms: legislation- statutory employment regulations. Government employment legislation works alongside common law, usually as a default minimum. E. g. , esa regulations- employers must provide reasonable notice: collective bargaining legislation and labour arbitration. E. g. , ontario labour relations act rights of employees to organize into unions, bargain collectively with the employer, and strike under certain situations. Implications: the employer cannot unilaterally change the conditions of employment, employee can treat this as a breach of contract, can claim constructive dismissal. Constructive dismissal occurs when an employer, without the consent of an employee, changes a fundamental term of employment such as wages and then forces the employee to either accept this change or quit.
