Employment law 2
Question 1
1.1
The lead objective of development of employment laws is to grant protection to employees
(Mayhew, 2019). During the course of employment, an employee deals with many of the issues
such as discrimination, bullying, harassment, unfair dismissal and so on. In such situations,
employment law helps the employees with their rights. This law provides the rights and
responsibility of both of the party of an employment relationship, i.e. employer and employee
(Employment.findlaw.com, 2019). Before the development of employment law in the nation,
employees were not aware of their rights. In such a situation, they were facing issues in their
employment. This would not be wrongful to state the employment law makes the removes all the
confusions and provide a clear picture of rights to employees.
Another purpose of this law is to make the relationship between employer and employee smooth
and positive. In the absence of the subjective law, organizations were used to prepare their own
set of rules regarding working hours, redundancy, wages, holidays and so on. In such a
circumstance, employment law provides standard rules regarding all these topics. If to talk about
the manner of enforcement of this law, this is to state that while developing the employment
agreements, the employer needs to decide the terms according to this law. Further, in cases of

any disputes between parties, the courts and tribunals use the employment law as a reference. In
this manner, this law gets enforced.
1.2
Only the development of employment law is not enough, but the same must be enforced too.
When it comes to the enforcement of this law, employment tribunal plays a vital role. As the
name implies, these courts and tribunals exclusively entertain the cases related to employment
law. In general, both the parties of an employment relationship (Cipd.co.uk, 2019). Many of the
times issues such as employee bullying, harassment and discrimination emerges. In such a
situation, the employee can take the help of courts and employment tribunals. These courts
ensure that all the compliances of employment law are in place.
Right are granted to employees under this law but to ensure the presences of the same, courts are
there. Whenever a case related to this law goes into court, these courts hear the whole case,
consider the proofs and witnesses, and at last, provide their decision in the favor of victim party.
While hearing the cases and granting justice, employment courts and tribunals consider
provisions of employment law. These courts provide justice against the liable party and in this
manner, spread the fear among the public. These authorities ensure the compliance of
employment law in subsequent cases also.
1.3
There is a set procedure that these courts use while entertaining a case. These proceedings start
with the reporting of a claim. After that, the other party has to respond within 28 days. Court
may call both the parties for preliminary meeting. Claimant can ask the required documents from
respondent if needed to present the arguments.
