This Ascentis Quality Assured Level 3 Diploma explains the various influences and rules which dictate the nature of the relationship between employer and employee, one that almost citizens can relate to. The course endeavours to place the employment relationship within its context in our legal system and explains how the various sources of law have developed and govern the operation of the contract of employment. It is hoped the coverage of this course will motivate students to progress further and perhaps embark upon a career within law or a human resources related discipline.
For the vast majority of us the employment relationship is a daily reality which can last throughout the course of our lifetimes. Irrespective of our motivations for participation, it is destined to be one of the longstanding relationships of our adult life. For many such a relationship may be relatively mundane; for others this may be far more traumatic and less happy. For these reasons, this course is guaranteed to be relevant and of interest to a vast array of people, those wishing to work in the field of law, or those seeking to improve their knowledge of employment law.
The course consists of ten modules. Throughout the modules you will encounter various cases studies which are designed to test your understanding and aid the learning process itself.

Syllabus:
This introductory module places the subject within its context introducing both the UK legal system and the various machinery which has the task of deciding disputes and enforcing the law.
The basis of the employment relationship remains the contract of employment; this module examines the key concerns within this area and the determination of employment status.
This module explores the essential legal duties of the parties to the employment relationship in greater detail.
There are a number of ways whereby an employment relationship can be terminated; this module explores the legal background to termination of contract and looks at some of the specific areas in more detail.
This module continues with the general theme of the previous module but concerns itself with situations which have arisen as a result of economic factors rather than legalistic considerations.
This module concentrates upon coverage of the various provisions relating to the more important terms and conditions of employment.
The potential forms of unlawful discrimination have increased dramatically over the past decade; it is the task of this module to examine these and place them within their context.
It seems quite commonplace to read of organisations complaining with regards to further responsibilities being placed upon them as a result of action by government bodies. This module explores the regulatory health and safety framework and the key duties it places upon both parties in the employment relationship.
The influence of European law has increased quite dramatically over the past 25 years and appears to be set to continue to do so. This module identifies what the sources of European law actually are and how they influence the nature of UK employment law.
During the course of the previous units we have considered the legal framework relating to employment law. In this final module we look at the various legal rules relating to the activities of trades unions and how they can operate within the framework of the law in attempting to advance the interests of their members.
