Answer preview

Employment laws are vital, irrespective of the jurisdiction an employer or organization is located. This is because the laws regulate the employee-employer relationship, ensuring that the more powerful party (employer) does not take advantage of the less powerful party (employee) (Ljungholm, 2018). To prevent violation of these laws, employers often come up with written policies regulating their interactions with employees (Ljungholm, 2018). These policies range from employee codes of conduct to disciplinary and termination procedures (Ljungholm, 2018).
