Level 5 HRM | Unit 4 | Employment Law

Lynda

Hello

I am currently studying the Level 5 in HR Management. I am on my fourth assignment on employment law and struggling with the first part...

"Explain the purpose of employment law and how it is enforced". I have explained what employment is and am ok with that part but when they are asking how it is enforced I am unsure? I had originally thought this was relating to the where employment law originated and the passing of a bill through parliament but I think I am interpreting the question wrong. Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks

  • Hi Lynda,
    I've just completed Level 5 and I'm sure for ours that part was to explain the court structure, what employment law is made up of, how common law comes about etc, like the examples David gave, but probably best to clarify with your tutor as it might vary between course providers, although I believe the assignments are based on CIPD criteria, Did you have an assignment brief webinar at all? They are great for helping to clarify what the assessor is looking for.
    Good Luck :)

    I am not a fan of wordy employment law questions as I much prefer to set practical questions, nevertheless The enforcement of it is an interesting question and largely by individual action and employer's voluntary action ie choosing to implement NMW changes rather than waiting to be taken to tribunal.
    Most law comes from case law which requires individuals or sometimes a grouping of individuals to take their employer or ex employer to tribunal and have the persistence to see it through via appeals on points of law. of course most employers when faced with litigation will settle as the threat of litigation focuses their minds. The state's involvement is limited although it does provide courts and funds ACAS. In a few instances it takes action against employers if they are not paying NMW or acting in a seriously unsafe way via the HSE and local authorities.

    Your tutor should be telling you this or at least pointing you in the right direction and reviewing several textbooks should give you a few clues.
