Employment Law for employees
Employment law in the UK has changed considerably and are rapidly in the past 10 years, due to many different reasons such as the impact of membership of the European union and the European Court of Justice, trade union practice, government intervention, economic policy changes and, of course, practising case law.
In the main, the introduction of all this new legislation is designed to remove the notion of conflict and join employees and employer by promoting partnership and flexibility. The practical effect of this has been to increase individual rights and place a greater responsibility on the employer to ensure compliance with the employers obligations.
The rapid growth of communication systems such as the Internet, e-mail, voice mail and other office space tools has changed the way that people perform with in their work role, and in turn, employers now find it or important to monitor the employee activities in the day-to-day use of these tools. However, this has to be balanced against the rights of the individual employee to privacy, which means that legislation such as The Human Rights Act, 1998, create some interesting issues in circumstances of the monitoring telephone calls and e-mails.
