Introduction to employment and contracts – skills series
The workplace is more than just a hub of daily tasks—it's a complex web of rights, responsibilities, and relationships. Whether you're shaping policies as an employer, advocating as an employee, or navigating the nuances of human resources, understanding the foundation of employment law is pivotal.
This course goes beyond the basics of employment contracts and relationships; it equips you with the tools to confidently navigate workplace dynamics.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Explain the key sources of Australian employment law, including common law and state and federal legislation, and describe how these sources intersect.
- Apply legal tests to identify whether a worker is classified as an "employee" and understand different types of employment contracts, including the specific requirements for validity.
- Distinguish between express and implied terms in employment contracts, including how implied terms may be excluded and policy documents incorporated.
- Differentiate between awards, enterprise agreements, and common law contracts within the employment law framework.

I found this course quite challenging, but have learnt much more about the practical part than I ever did during university.
