Employment refers to the relationship between an employer and an employee, governed by both contract and labour laws. It involves the provision of labour or services by the employee in exchange for compensation from the employer. Employment law covers various aspects of this relationship, including hiring, wages, working conditions, discrimination, termination, and benefits. It encompasses both individual employment contracts and collective agreements negotiated between employers and labour unions. Employment laws aim to protect the rights and interests of workers while also regulating the responsibilities of employers to ensure fair and equitable treatment in the workplace.
