Document Summary

Employment law= losing job and rights in termination. Part of a union= one agreement negotiated on behalf of everyone. In employment law, give general information first, the firm will check for conflict of interest, if none then details are given. Mitigation= when someone has breached a contract, must take reasonable steps to lessen your injuries. If you"re let go early (before contract ends) you must take steps to find another job; you don"t have a sudden holiday with the injuries you claim, so if you find another job, your damages decrease. If hired indefinitely (as an employee, no contract) Incompetence- you don"t have necessary skills for job. Disobedience- your employer can tell you what to work on and when and you must obey. Without cause- you don"t have a right to your job in employment law. You will not get your job back under employment law. Payment instead of notice- paid for period you don"t work.
