Legal Terms - employer and employee
The association between the entities involved in a contract of employment (formerly referred to as "master and servant"). The connection is regulated by the explicit and implicit terms of the contract, as well as by statutory provisions that cannot be excluded from an employment contract. These pertain to, for instance, *unjust termination, *redundancy, *maternity entitlements, *trade union affiliation and activities, and occupational health and *safety. The notion of vicarious responsibility indicates that third parties might hold an employer accountable for specific wrongs perpetrated by an employee during the course of employment.
