Overview

Labour laws and employment go hand in hand. Labour laws in particular, play an essential role in maintaining industrial peace in organisations as well as the wider society. Adhering to labour laws in employment practices also helps to ensure distributive justice, procedural justice as well as interactional justice and helps to maintain fairness and equity for both employers and employees. These laws, therefore, should be thought of not only as legal constraints; but also as sources of information for employers, employees and potential employees. Employers need to ensure that good industrial relations practices are adhered to in hiring and keeping employees while employees need to know and understand the contract they have made with their respective employers.

Prospective employees also need to know the legal arrangements that would bind them with their prospective employers and the roles that are expected of them when joining or leaving an organisation.

Fairness is something that society values and clearly, treating employees fairly is good for the employer and the employees. It is within this context that employees and employers should have a good grounding of the laws that govern employment and labour in Trinidad and Tobago.
