Document Summary

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 relation 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. Occurs where an employer, without the consent of the employee, changes a fundamental term of employment such as wages and then forces the employee to either accept this change or quit. The rules governing dismissal ( termination without cause ) An employer is not required to give an employee a reason why his or her employment us being terminated: employee"s services are no longer needed.
