Document Summary

The three regimes of employement law: the common law of employment the body of case law in which courts interpret employment contracts, and the legal principles taken from those cases that guide the interpretation of employment contracts. Collective agreement an employment contract between an employer and a union that sets out the terms of employment of a group of the employer"s employees represented by the union. Labour arbitrator a person assigned to interpret and decide disputes about the meaning, interpretation, and application of a collective agreement, governing employees in a unionized workplace. Understanding the individual employment contract: valid contract requires mutual consideration this means that both parties to the contract must receive some benefit in exchange. Constructive dismissal when an employer commits a fundamental breach of the contract, such as by unilaterally changing a key term of the contract, the employee can treat the breach as a termination.
