Domestic Regulation And Service Trade Liberalization

by Oxford University Press Usa

34,73€ + 10% CARD

 Trade in services, far more than trade in goods, is affected by a variety of domestic regulations, ranging from qualification and licensing requirements in professional services to pro-competitive regulation in telecommunications services. Experience shows that the quality of regulation strongly influences the consequences of trade liberalization. WTO members have agreed that a central task in the ongoing services negotiations will be to develop a set of rules to ensure that domestic regulations support rather than impede trade liberalization. Since these rules are bound to have a profound impact on the evolution of policy, particularly in developing countries, it is important that they be conducive to economically rational policy-making. This book addresses two central questions: What impact can international trade rules on services have on the exercise of domestic regulatory sovereignty? And how can services negotiations be harnessed to promote and consolidate domestic policy reform across highly diverse sectors? The book, with contributions from several of the world's leading experts in the field, explores a range of rule-making challenges arising at this policy interface, in areas such as transparency, standards and the adoption of a necessity test for services trade. Contributions also provide an in-depth look at these issues in the key areas of accountancy, energy, finance, health, telecommunications and transportation services.

Beendigung Des Arbeitsverhaltnisses - Arbeitsrecht Ii

~~7,83€~~ 7,05€ 10% OFF

 Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, (International University of Applied Sciences) (IU), language: English, abstract: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit behandelt das Thema der Beendigung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses. Eine Kundigung im Arbeitsrecht ist die einseitige Beendigung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses durch den Arbeitgeber oder den Arbeitnehmer. Das Arbeitsrecht regelt u. a. die Bedingungen, die bei einer Kundigung einzuhalten sind. Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Kundigungen, darunter ordentliche und auerordentliche (fristlose) Kundigungen. Hier wird im Folgenden noch weiter darauf eingegangen. Die Kundigung stellt grundsatzlich eine konventionelle Methode dar, um ein Arbeitsverhaltnis zu beenden. Im Falle von Kundigungen seitens des Arbeitgebers werden daruber hinaus Unterscheidungen zwischen personen-, verhaltens- und betriebsbedingten Kundigungen getroffen. Es ist stets erforderlich, dass aus der Kundigung fur den Empfanger eindeutig hervorgeht, dass das Arbeitsverhaltnis zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt beendet werden soll. Eine Kundigung fur den Arbeitnehmer hat verschiedene Auswirkungen, die sowohl berufliche als auch personliche Aspekte betreffen konnen. Die offensichtlichste Konsequenz ist die Beendigung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses zwischen dem Arbeitnehmer und dem Arbeitgeber. Nach Ablauf der Kundigungsfrist oder im Falle einer fristlosen Kundigung endet die Zusammenarbeit. Sie fuhrt zu einem unmittelbaren Einkommensverlust fur den Arbeitnehmer. Dies kann finanzielle Unsicherheit und die Notwendigkeit einer raschen Suche nach neuen Beschaftigungsmoglichkeiten mit sich bringen. Je nach den Umstanden der Kundigung kann es eine Kundigungsfrist geben, wahrend der der Arbeitnehmer weiterhin Anspruch auf Gehalt und andere Leistungen hat. In einigen Fallen hat der Arbeitnehmer auch Anspruch auf eine Abfindung, insbesondere wenn dies im Arbeitsvertrag oder in gesetzlichen Bestimmungen vorgesehen ist. In vielen Fallen endet auch der Anspruch auf betriebliche Sozialleistungen, wie beispielsweise die Krankenversicherung oder betriebliche Altersvorsorge. Der Arbeitnehmer muss sich nach Beendigung des Arbeitsverhaltnisses moglicherweise selbst um diese Leistungen kummern. Die Kundigung beeinflusst auch den beruflichen Werdegang. Ein abruptes Ende des Arbeitsverhaltnisses erfordert oft die Suche nach neuen beruflichen Moglichkeiten. [...]

~~7,83€~~ 7,05€ 10% OFF

 Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, (International University of Applied Sciences) (IU), language: English, abstract: Die vorliegende Hausarbeit behandelt das Thema der Rechtsquellen im Arbeitsrecht. Dabei erfolgt zunachst eine Kategorisierung und Vorstellung der Rechtsquellen durch die Verdichtung vorhandener Literatur und wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf die Normenkonkurrenz, wobei die Normenpyramide und das Gunstigkeitsprinzip erlautert werden. Die herausragende Bedeutung des Grundgesetzes im Kontext des Arbeitsrechts wird ebenfalls beleuchtet. Praxisrelevante Beispiele werden herangezogen, um die Ergebnisse der Literaturrecherchen zu untermauern. Abschlieend werden die Erkenntnisse sowie die Beispiele in einem Conclusio - also einem Fazit und einem Ausblick - zusammengefasst. Das Ziel besteht darin, dass diese Hausarbeit eine klare Darstellung der Rechtsquellen im Arbeitsrecht liefert und verdeutlicht, in welchem Ausma das Arbeitsrecht umfangreich ist. Ich beginne meine Hausarbeit nunmehr mit einem Zitat eines Online-Artikels des Zeitungsverlags Stern aus dem Jahre 2004: Paragraphendschungel Deutschland: [Umfrage] Arbeitsrecht entscheidende Jobbremse - Kundigungsschutz schreckt ab!" (Stern, 2004). Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Befragung von dem Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft an Unternehmen, welche meist das Arbeitsrecht als recht kompliziert und unflexibel in ihren Vorgaben wahrnehmen (Stern, 2004). Das Arbeitsrecht ist heute wie fruher wichtig und hat einen groen Einfluss auf die Wirtschaftsunternehmen als Arbeitgeber und naturlich auch auf die Arbeitnehmer. Das Arbeitsrecht betrifft praktisch jeden. Es regelt die Grundlagen der Existenz und der Lebensumstande. (...) Diese existentielle Situation fuhrt dazu, dass Arbeitsrecht ein besonders 'emotionales Recht' ist." (Podehl, 2017). Die Betrachtung des Arbeitsrechts unter dem Gesichtspunkt des emotionalen Rechts konnte auf diverse Aspekte hinweisen, die die emotionale Dimension von Arbeitsbeziehungen, Arbeitsbedingungen oder arbeitsrechtliche Fragestellungen beruhren. Mogliche Ansatze waren beispielsweise die Arbeitsbedingungen und das Wohlbefinden, die Diskriminierung und die Gleichbehandlung, Kundigungen und emotionale Belastungen, Interaktionen am Arbeitsplatz sowie arbeitsrechtliche Mediation und Konfliktlosung. Das emotionale Recht, wie beschrieben, ist gekoppelt mit gesetzlichen Grundlagen, Arbeitsvertrage, Tarifvertrage, internationale Ubereinkommen und der deutschen Rechtsprechung. [...]

Protection Of Workers In The Private Sector Of Cameroon. Industrial Accidents And Occupational Diseases - Challenges And Prospects

by Peter Ngong

44,81€ + 10% CARD

 Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, grade: A, University of Buea, language: English, abstract: The protection of workers from work-related accidents and diseases is a socio-economic right recognized and preserved by a variety of international and national human rights and industrial law instruments. The work exams the nature of work-related hazards from both the statutory and common law perspectives. In this vein, it critically examines the concepts of industrial accidents, occupational diseases, and personal injury for the purpose of protection. It is argued that damning consequences are bound to be felt by the worker and his dependents, the employer and the society at large, if workers are not protected from the risk of accidents and diseases inherent in their jobs. The research also discussed the common law defenses used by employers to escape liability towards injured workers; vital amongst which is the defense of volunti non fit injuria. The research there calls for the non-applicability of the said doctrine/defense within the employer/employee relationship. The research further examines the statutory and on law remedies available to worker who get injured or contract a disease while at work.

Protection Of Employees During Asset Deals In Japan And Germany

by Jannis Bantele

22,02€ + 10% CARD

 Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, Keio University (Law School), course: LL.M. in Global Legal Practice, language: English, abstract: The employees' protection during asset deals shall be explained in detail first from a Japanese and after that from a German legal viewpoint, introducing the respective systems of company and labour law and taking into account the historical as well as the social context of both countries. Afterwards, these two systems shall be directly compared to determine whether there are lessons to be learned from the other regulatory way. By these means, the questions shall be answered, how much protection during asset deals for employees is necessary and adequate, as well as whether an optimal regulation of this situation is possible. Through times of economic upswing or crisis, Japan and Germany's economic and legal cooperation has been profound for the longest time and thus overcame borders in culture and language. As for labour law, in particular, both countries share the general regulatory way by emphasizing the protection of employees with only natural differences remaining. Furthermore, be it times of economic stability or uncertainty, the acquisition of undertakings in the form of asset deals for business expansion or restructuring plays a significant role in both countries. The (dis-)continuity of employment relationships upon such restructuring measures, however, bears great risks and insecurities for employees and calls for the legislator as well as the jurisdiction to provide for solutions. Solutions have been found in Japan as well as in Germany although with significant differences yet to explore.

by Ademolu Adediran

1,31€ + 10% CARD

 Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Industrial / Labour, grade: 5, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: The objectives of the paper are to examine the subject matter of trade unions in Nigeria which is the regulation of the terms and conditions of employment, to provide a clear explanation of activities the unions engage in to actualize their goals and objectives centered on this key purpose of their existence, to discern their prospects and the challenges impeding their effective functioning, and to recommend reformatory measures. The Nigerian industrial relations system in Nigeria aimed at the maintenance of a peaceful and harmonious industrial environment to foster employee satisfaction, increased productivity, economic growth, and assist all involved parties to achieve their objectives is menaced by incessant conflicts and disputes, making it a major topic of discourse and research in recent years. The activities of the bi-partite body of employers and the labour unions cannot be understated in the maintenance of industrial peace and harmony, and are central to the happenings of the Nigerian industrial relations system. The paper thus examines the development of trade unions and management relations in Nigeria, the roles, functions and activities of parties involved with emphasis on the regulation of terms and conditions of employment, and the challenges hindering the effective functioning of the relations in order to proffer remedial measures.

Self-Representation - Law, Ethics, And Policy

by Jona Goldschmidt

44,11€ + 10% CARD

 Self-representation has a long, venerable history dating to biblical times and continuing through the common law, the colonial era, to the present. This book collects and analyzes the law, ethics opinions, and empirical studies about the wide range of issues surrounding Self-represented litigants (SRLs) in our justice system, including how much, if any, assistance should a judge provide, what duties do lawyers interacting with SRLs, and many others. Using recent empirical studies from both Civil litigation and criminal defense, Jona Goldschmidt argues that SRLs' cases cannot be fairly heard without a mandatory judicial duty of reasonable assistance. In order to maintain public trust and confidence in our justice system, self-represented parties must be guided and assisted. Courts and the legal profession should continue to adapt and meet the challenge of managing and interacting with those who choose or are compelled to self-represent. Only when self-represented litigants are embraced by the courts, they will finally receive "equal justice under law." This book would be of interest to those studying criminal justice and legal studies, specifically legal history and legal ethics, as well as judges, lawyers and other professionals in the field.

Belgian Industrial Relations Law (2nd Edition)

by Marc Rigaux, Patrick Humblet e Ria Janvier

~~54,99€~~ 49,49€ 10% OFF

 This book gives an overall picture of the principles of Belgian industrial relations law, such as trade union freedom, the instruments for social dialogue, collective bargaining agreements and collective action. The first edition was published almost twenty years ago. In this new edition, some topics have been omitted or shortened and others have been elaborated. For instance, we opted to discuss social dialogue in the public sector. The chapter relating to the European Works Council and the European Company, on the other hand, was drastically abridged, not only because these bodies hardly exist in Belgium, but also because the relevant legislation is a faithful copy of the European directives. This publication is intended for all those who want to get acquainted with Belgian industrial relations and is certainly not an academic monograph. The number of footnotes is therefore very limited and - unlike in the first edition - bibliographical references were not included at the back of the chapters. However, a general bibliography is included, as well as a number of useful websites.

With each chapter tackling a different aspect of the workplace—including pay, time management, firing, and benefits—this startling and original story of employment law offers fresh insights for legal scholars, historians, attorneys, advocates, and anyone who's ever worked a terrible job.
