Job Retention by People With Disabilities: A Qualitative Study of the Perspectives of People With Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), because of its early age at onset, greatly impacts the working lives of those affected by it in ways linked to different factors, both professional and personal. It has been observed that only a small percentage (20-40%) of workers with MS retain their jobs after the diagnosis. When identifying factors determining job retention or loss in this setting, it is essential to consider the direct perspectives of people with MS (PwMS). A qualitative study, based on the conduction of two focus groups, was conducted to explore the personal experiences of PwMS who work. The results show that there are numerous factors, both positive and negative, that can influence these people's ability to retain their jobs. The climate established in the workplace and the relationship between workers with MS and their colleagues were fundamentally important aspects, as was knowledge of the disease at the level of public opinion. Managing work is a complex undertaking for people with a disabling condition like MS. There needs to be greater awareness of the employment rights of PwMS. Improving these knowledge-based aspects could undoubtedly improve the quality of the working lives of PwM.

The article analyzes the characteristics of ensuring the rights of employees during the period of the legal regime of martial law. It has been established that the system of guarantees for ensuring the rights of employees and citizens in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law has undergone changes in relation to a set of objective and subjective factors, which are aimed at the practical implementation of universally recognized labor rights, respectively. Attention is drawn to the fact that the current legislation of Ukraine provides for a general procedure for ensuring the labor rights of employees during the period of the legal regime of martial law. Special regulations regarding the provision of labor rights refer to labor obligation as a type of short-term labor obligation. It is noted that the normative predictability of the guarantee of the rights of persons involved in compulsory labor testifies to the consideration of the interests and rights of the person both during the period of the legal regime of martial law and after its termination, an argument in favor of the stated thesis will be the existing normatively detailed procedure for involvement in labor duty at the level of a sub-legal normative act. The signs of a special labor obligation in the form of labor obligation are singled out, namely: 1) expression through the use of socially useful works, which must be performed within the framework of the introduced labor obligation; 2) initiation by military command and/or military administrations (if they are formed) through the adoption of a decision in the form of an act of the relevant military administration or military command; 3) the decision on labor obligation must include mandatory components; 4) the acquisition of a special labor obligation is associated with the absence of an opportunity for an able-bodied person to be drafted for military service, who, due to age and health, has no restrictions to work under martial law; 5) will not apply to the legally defined categories of able-bodied persons; 6) confirmation of a specific employment obligation for a specific person is reflected in a fixed-term employment contract; 7) the person to whom the labor obligation has been applied for the duration of the work is guaranteed to retain the previous place of work (position), etc. Key words: labor rights, legal regime, limitations of labor rights, labor contract, labor obligation.

Absolute competence of the industrial relations court resolving employment termination disputes

Purpose: The jurisdictional scope or competence of the Industrial Relations Court is elaborated in Section 56, Law Number 2, Year 2004. However, Section 56 Number Law 2 Years 2004 has spurred further debate regarding the proper competence of the Industrial Relations Court because, under this law, the Court has issued ineffective and inefficient court decisions. In response to this debate, this study problematizes the competence of the Industrial Relations Court in presiding over the termination of employment contracts. Method: In analyzing the problem, this research uses a normative juridical method that has a systematic way of conducting research, focusing on competency theory, the theory of justice and supremacy of law, subjective justice, competency of the Industrial Relations Court according to existing laws and regulations, and experts’ views regarding the contribution of the existing literature to the competency of Industrial Relations Court judges. Results: This study argues that an excess of laws governs the termination of employment contracts, which supposedly lies under the competence of the Industrial Relations Court. Hence, to protect the rights of employees in the context of industrial relations, a judicial review of Law Number 2 Year 2004 on manpower is required. Limitations: This research has a number of limitations, including the time required to search for additional references, such as the latest journals, and comparisons with the competence of industrial relations courts in various countries. Contributions: It is hoped that the results of this research can provide information as a basis for consideration and contribution of thought to policymakers in formulating laws and regulations more effectively and efficiently to bring justice, legal certainty, and benefits to society.

Payroll can be defined as a form of service system used to make salary payments every month. With a payroll system, the process from start to finish when salaries are paid can run according to what each employee expects. At MTS Nurul Khoiroh, the current payroll system has several obstacles, where the teacher payroll process is still done manually. Payroll data is still calculated and recorded using the Microsoft Excel program and is not in the form of a database, so it is susceptible to loss and errors in data recapitulation at the end of the month. Based on these problems, an application will be created to handle the processing of salary calculation data which is the right of teachers and employees, starting from the process of calculating the basic salary to calculating allowances. The application was built using the waterfall method and with the PHP programming language. With this system, it is hoped that it will make it easier for school treasurers to manage data while also helping to increase the efficiency of the payroll process so that it becomes faster and more accurate.

Профсоюзы и общественное мнение в Республике Башкортостан в конце XX – начале XXI в.

The article examines the dynamics of public opinion regarding trade union organizations in Bashkortostan in the post-Soviet period. The analysis of the scientific literature indicates that the problem is insufficiently studied. The main sources used in the article, in addition to archival documents, were the materials of the periodical press. The work notes that during the transition to market relations, trade unions restructured their work with an emphasis on strengthening the protection of the rights of employees, began to interact with all branches of government, negotiated with employers and concluded agreements and collective agreements. Non-fulfillment of agreements by enterprises and the state forced trade unions to organize collective actions: rallies, strikes, pickets. In the early 1990s, as sociological studies showed, citizens’ trust in trade unions remained high, paradoxically combined, however, with distrust of all political forces. Most likely, it is precisely distrust of trade unions that explains the attempts to create new public organizations in the 1990s, uniting ordinary workers. Many workers expressed dissatisfaction with the indecisive actions of the trade unions, urging them to pay attention to protecting the interests of workers. Special studies have found a decrease in the authority of trade unions among workers from the early 1990s to the early 2010s. At the same time, trade union leaders noted the passivity and inertia of ordinary trade union members, their non-participation in collective actions. Thus, on the one hand, the workers recognized the trade unions as the only defenders of their interests, on the other, they assessed its activities poorly, reluctantly participated in collective events.

Do financial crises moderate the influence of stakeholder rights protection on M&A activity: The influence of institutional logics and power?

AbstractResearch SummaryM&A represents a contested process of change in control influenced by two contending prevailing institutional logics: shareholder‐centered and labor‐oriented. These logics, whose respective power is influenced by national laws, shape mergers and acquisition (M&A) outcomes. Crises, like systemic financial crises, are periods during which these logics may be altered. This research examines how financial crises affect the positive (negative) relationship between the legal protection of shareholder (labor) rights and M&A activity in a country. Utilizing a dataset from financial services companies across 35 countries from 1990 to 2016, we find that financial crises significantly weaken the effects of both shareholder and labor rights on M&A transactions. Our findings emphasize the role of power dynamics amidst conflicting institutional logics in determining M&A outcomes during both crisis and non‐crisis periods.Managerial SummaryIn the world of mergers and acquisitions, the battle for control is influenced by two major opposing forces: shareholders and employees, with their power rooted in the country's laws. Countries with high protection of shareholder rights witness higher M&A activity compared to those more protective of labor rights. However, drawing from data covering financial services firms in 35 countries from 1990 to 2016, we discovered that financial crises tend to weaken the influence of both shareholder and employee rights on M&A deals. This insight highlights the importance of understanding the differences in the functioning of the M&A market across countries and the shifting power dynamics between shareholders and employees, especially in times of financial uncertainty, for those involved in planning and executing M&A strategies.

Slovakia's departure from strong labor protection of employees as a consequence of the pandemic and the transposition of european directives

This scientific paper delves into the notable shift in Slovak labor law, which has departed from its historically strong emphasis on safeguarding the rights of employees, traditionally seen as the weaker party in labor relations. Until recently, this emphasis served as a substantial barrier against the globalizing and standardizing influences of employers. The paper identifies two key factors driving recent legislative "reforms" in Slovakia's labor regulation. These changes are rooted in the transposition of European labor law directives while also embracing a more liberal political perspective regarding the nature of labor relations. This shift involves moving away from rigid employee protection and adopting the concept of "increased flexibility" in employee work as a remedy for addressing the post-Covid-19 economic challenges. The previous emphasis on employee or employee representative involvement in defining working conditions, wages, and important employer decisions regarding work organization has shifted. This shift allows employers to act unilaterally, contingent on fulfilling new information obligations towards employees. However, the recent labor law reforms run counter to this historical legal tradition. Taking into account the wage levels in the Slovak Republic compared to the majority of other European Union member states, these reforms establish an unsettling level of labor law protection pro futuro of Slovak employees.

Working Time Remedies Beyond Brexit: Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and Another v Agnew and Others

Abstract On 4 October 2023, the ‘long-anticipated’ judgment in PCC v Agnew was handed down by the Supreme Court. This case concerned claims for holiday pay made by police officers and other civilian staff employed by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). The Supreme Court had to decide two main issues. The first was whether police officers could take advantage of the more generous remedy provisions in respect of holiday pay claims in the Employment Rights Order 1996 (ERO) (which largely corresponds to the UK Employment Rights Act 1996) as opposed to the Working Time Regulations. The second issue was the correct interpretation of the ERO provisions. As well as the important practical implications of the case, there are also interesting jurisprudential issues that arise. The case deals with the interpretation of European Union (EU) derived rights in the labour context. This is a sensitive area, given that access to EU interpretive mechanisms usually equates to a more progressive reading of rights, and this fans the flame of UK government scepticism to both the EU and working time rights. This article discusses the particular approach to statutory interpretation taken by the Supreme Court and the implications of this approach for the progressive interpretation of EU-derived employment rights going forward.
