Labor law

How does the law come to govern and structure the banking organization so that it can best protect everyone's interests?

“Talent is a garden

and labor is his gardener. »

(Vincent Thomas Rey)

Labor law is the legal structure in which relations between employees and employers are organised. It aims both at social dialogue between employees and employers and at setting up protective structures for employees, safeguarding their interests and supervising their working environment. It covers many areas such as the employment contract, remuneration, working hours, leave, discipline, dismissal, employment, training, safety and health at work, collective bargaining, strike and employee representation.

Labor law is a constantly evolving law because it includes strong social, economic and political issues. It is constructed by French laws, ordinances and decrees, but also by European texts, international texts, the French Constitution, conventions and collective agreements, customs and unilateral commitments, the company's internal regulations and, of course, course, the employment contract. Its abundance makes the material as complex as it is fascinating.

But labor law only concerns employees in the private sector. Labor law does not concern workers who are subject to public law (for example, civil servants), self-employed workers (artisans, merchants, liberal professions, etc.), volunteers and company managers.
