Book Description
Labour law gives specification of rights, obligations and it regulates and tells the subjects on how they can conduct themselves on contractual terms and how they can enforce their rights. In other words, labour law sets a forum or an institution to enable the effective enforceability of both the employers' and employees' rights. Labour law has Substantive Labour Law and Procedural Law. Substantive law is that branch of labour law that prescribes the standards to be observed by both employers and employees. Specifically, substantive law deals with things like contracts of service and for services, termination of contract/employment, benefits e.t.c. These are provided for by the Employment and Labour Relations Act No. 6 of 2004, while Procedural Law is that branch of Labour Law that prescribes procedures to be followed in all labour matters. This is done by providing for institutions for implementation of the substantive standards, and enforcement of rights. This is provided for by the Labour Institutions Act No.7 of 2004 and the specific rules issued in 2007 GN Nos. 42, 64, 65, 66 and 67 of 2007.The main objective of labour law is to maintain the relationship between employers and employees by defining their rights and duties and regulating their conducts. And it is from this paper whereby such relationship is shown within the Act.
