Syllabus Information

1. General information

Within the goals of the Regulatory Framework of Labour Relations and Social Security Module, the subject provides students with the theoretical, conceptual and applicative framework of the employment contract and enables them to manage the employment contract, determining the contractual modality appropriate to the needs of the company and respecting the rights established in the Collective Agreements applicable to the employment contract, as well as determining the conditions embodied in the employment contract.

These approaches and goals are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United NationsAgenda 2030 and among them in particular the goals of promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.

2. Learning results

As a result of the learning result, students should be able to search and understand the regulations governing the employment contract and its content and apply them to solve different problems. Therefore, learning to search, understand, organize and plan the different documentation related to the contents of the subject and to write contracts of indefinite duration, temporary and training contracts is the final result of their learning.

Explain and argue the foundations of the legal-labor relationship and know how to distinguish it from other legal relationships; know and understand the legal regulation of the different types of employment contracts and other working conditions.

Once you have found the collective bargaining agreement applicable to the employment contract, the labor standard in the formal sources of application of labor law must be able to apply and rule giving an answer to the interpretative questions that arise in the framework of labor relations.
