Employment Law is the branch of the legal profession that deals with employment related issues.

Employment Law exists in many countries, including the USA and England.

See also employment, law.

Employment Law in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland

English Employment Law has developed rapidly over the past forty years, largely due to a historically strong UK Union movement. In it's current form, it is largely a creature of Statute, (Acts of the UK Parliament) rather than Common Law.

Leading Employment Law Statutes include the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Employment Act 2002 and various Acts outlawing discrimination.

Unusually for UK legislation, the operation of the Employment Law system is broadly similiar across the whole of the UK.
