Abstract

‘Statutory employment rights’ evaluates statutory employment rights. In many countries, it is statutory measures passed by politicians in Congress or parliaments, rather than the common law or a section of the Civil Code or Labour Code, that are the primary source of employment protection. The principal employment rights set out in legislation include minimum wage regulations, wage security protections, paid sick leave entitlements, family-friendly and work‒life balance rights, and laws regulating the working hours and conditions of employees.
