About this subject

This is an advanced subject of study that delves further into individual issues within employment law. You will examine a variety of social issues from a legal perspective. These include the development of Australian employment law, unionisation within and casualisation of the Australian workforce, the notions of 'employee' and 'contractor' and alternative modes for the performance of work and their regulation and implied terms, as well as the scope of employer and employee duties. You will also explore the distribution of opportunity at work, including employee entitlements, leave arrangements and anti-discrimination, as well as legal regimes that promote work-life balance and issues surrounding termination of employment at common law and statute. Throughout, you will build transferable critical thinking, legal reasoning and analytical skills.
