It is the area of law regulating the relationship between employees and employers, including what employees expect from their employers, what employers can ask employees to do and your rights in the work place.

Employment rights are designed to balance the expectations of the job with the fair treatment of the worker doing it. Your exact employment rights will vary depending on the kind of job you do, the arrangement you have with your employer and many other variables. Your rights at work come from both your statutory rights and your employment contract.
