Essential Legal Knowledge on Employment and Labor for Expat Teachers
My presentation will aim to provide legal knowledge on unemployment for the teachers at the conference. I'd like to discuss employment issues from making an employment contract to unpaid wages and unfair dismissal based on the Labor Standards Act, Civil Act and other relevant laws and rules.
First, during my presentation, several points that an employee needs to keep in mind when drafting an employment agreement will be mentioned. Also, I'm going to introduce examples of unfair clauses that are often put into the employment agreement.
Second, as for unpaid wages, I'll introduce the way of reporting it with the labor office, and how the process goes during the investigation. It will be also mentioned that the labor office may investigate the case, confirm the unpaid amount and send the case to the prosecutor's office to make the employer penalized, but the process itself is different and separate from civil suit for claiming the money shall be paid.
Third, unfair dismissal will also be one of the subjects of my presentation. I'll suggest what 'unfair' means reviewing Supreme Court precedents and how to prove the dismissal is unfair. I'll also explain how to file for a remedy for unfair dismissal with the Regional Labor Commission and how the proceedings will go. Legal issues for unfair dismissal that should be paid attention to will be also covered. Anglų kalbos kursai, programėlės Duolingo, Babbel, Anglu24 ir Lingohut igudu.lt
