The Czech Republic has recently experienced an unprecedented influx of foreigners into its territory. The majority of those people come because of work opportunities. This phenomenon raises the questions of how to best regulate this influx and how to set the conditions under which these people work, so as to be a benefit and not a burden for society. The Czech Republic has set strict rules in order to prevent the foreigners from negatively affecting the domestic labour market. However, stricter the conditions are, the risk of law infringement is higher. For this reason, the main goal of the Czech legislation concerning the employment of foreigners should be the setting of effective rules in order to enable the state to benefit from the foreigner labour market, while simultaneously ensuring that there are adequate control mechanisms to prevent any infringements of the law. The aim of this thesis is to describe the Czech legislation concerning the employment of foreigners, to highlight the current problems and also the challenges for the future, to draw a comparison between the Czech and Australian legislation and to make further recommendations for the Czech Republic. This thesis is composed of four chapters. The first chapter is introductory and defines the basic terminology relevant to the topic such as...

The dissertation thesis deals with the regulation of the private international law matters within EU law focusing on the area of labour law.1 The thesis is divided into four basic parts, its centrepiece being parts II and III, which are devoted to relevant general issues related to the regulation of international private law within EU law and/or to the specific legal instruments adopted in this area. Part I is an introduction of the topic, while part IV brings a résumé and a summary of findings and conclusions made throughout the thesis. First of all, the introductory part brings about a justification as to why it was European private international law and/or its part concerning labour law relationships that became the subject matter of the thesis. Emphasis is placed upon the purpose of this legal regulation, its basic features as well as its practical importance. Also, the author explains her motivation to address the concerned topic (consisting in a quite unusual interconnection of international private law and labour law), brings about a justification as for the chosen approach to the topic and outlines the systemization of her thesis. Part II of the thesis, which is devoted primarily to some selected general issues of the legal regulation of European private international law, is divided into...

This thesis draws on the theory and method of social ontology to explore why labour law struggles to provide for wage security and clarity of employment status today. It starts by exploring at a conceptual level the relationship between law and capitalism, before moving on to engage more specifically with the concept of the wage, situating the analysis in a theory of the wage's socio-economic function. The thesis understands the 'wage' as, initially, the market price of the commodity, 'labour power', which is exchanged in the labour market. As with any other 'price', the wage functions to coordinate decision making in the market. At the same time, however, the wage is also the cost of reproducing that commodity, a process which is not confined to the market but takes place in society more generally: this is the function of social reproduction. These two functions are not only conceptually and materially distinct; they are frequently in conflict. The price the market assigns to the labour commodity is not always, and not necessarily, that which is required to cover its costs of (re)production. The thesis shows that these functions of the wage find their expression in the various concepts the legal system uses to describe the payment made by employers to their workers. For example, the legal concept of the 'wage' corresponds closely to the economic idea of the wage as price, and the concept of 'remuneration' to the wage as the cost of social reproduction, shifting some of the social costs of employment onto the employer. How these conceptual tools are deployed, however, and thus how effectively these functions are performed in practice, depends on law's own view of its ontological status: that is, the implicit position that the legal system takes on what constitutes 'social reality' beyond the text of a particular case or statute, and thus its view of whether, and to what extent, legal concepts can shape, as well as respond, to it. The thesis shows that whether the legal system sees its concepts playing an active role in constituting social and economic relations, or whether it sees them as passively reacting to the 'demands' of a 'pre-constituted' economic system makes a difference to the effectiveness of law in practice. Understanding law's implicit ontology in this sense helps us to see why labour law struggles to provide for wage security and clarity of status. Thinking about law's relationship with social reality can thus make an important contribution to our understanding of the problems of low pay and unclear employment status today.

Thesis (LLM)--University of Limpopo, 2010 / The study evaluates the common law position regarding the principle of legitimate expectation at the workplace. Under the common law, the employer had the power to hire and to fire as he or she pleased. The employer could either fire for a good reason or for a bad one or for no reason at all, provided the dismissal was on notice. In other words the employer was not required to show good cause for terminating the contract or to inform them employee of such reasons as they may be or to follow any special procedures before termination. It was not possible for the employee to raise question of legitimate expectation by then. The study exposed the complexity of this principle in our current labour laws. The two schools of thoughts regarding the principle have been analysed herein and a proper recommendation was made.

Thesis (M.Law (Labour Law)) --University of Limpopo, 2012 / This research is titled ‘Compensation as a remedy for unfair dismissal, a comparison of South African and Australian labour law’.
