Employment Law (5EML) 2
Question 1
“Objective of Employment Regulation”
Human resources are one of the important assets for every entity and therefore require to be
managed appropriately. Before moving to develop an understanding of the role and significance
of employment law, the first meaning of the same is necessary to understand. Here to state, that
employment law refers to an area of law that mediates employer-employee relationship. It
provides rules and provisions that govern the dealings of an employer with his/her employees.
The law outlines that provisions with respect to the rights and liabilities of each party and

objective of employment law is to escalate these issues, which include discrimination based on
age, sexuality, gender, age and religion, harassment, exploitation, unlawful dismissal and
bullying at the workplace. Apart from the highlighted issues, employment law also provides
provisions related to other related aspects of employment such as minimum wages, parental
leave, working hours, and working environment. This would not be incorrect to state that mostly

low bargaining power than employer group. Hence these laws confirming the protection of rights
of workers and employees by outlining a standard set of practice and making it compulsory to

and tribunals are responsible to conduct actual hearing of dispute cases involving a claimant and
defendant. In conjunction with this direct role, these courts and tribunals also have their indirect
role that is simply their existence. By the fact that there is an authority, employers have grown
fearful of being sued and fine (Essack, 2018).
“Procedure to settle the case in employment tribunal”
There is a set procedure to resolve the employment disputes before these tribunals. A total of
three members are there in the panel, which is known as the tribunal panel. This panel hears and

proceedings, one is representative of the employer's organization, and one is an employee's
