Describe 4 factors, 2 external, which impact on the employment relationship.
A number of factors impact on the relationship between employees and employers. Below I have listed intenal and external factors which impact on the employment relationship.
Internal
Organisation culture – The behaviour and morals of the employees within the company have a big impact on the employment relationship e.g if

It is important to establish the nature of the employment relationship as this is key to determining the employment rights to which an individual is entitled. In employment law a persons employment status helps determine;
Their rights
Their employers responsibilities
Give examples of legislation that impact on. Employee holidays, rest periods, working hours and night working. Explain why these are important for both the employee and employer
Working Time Regulations is the leglislation that impacts employees holidays, rest periods, working hours and night working.
Rest Breaks
Workers over 18 are usually entitled to 3 types of rest break.
Rest breaks at work
Workers have the right to one uninterrupted 20 minute rest break during their working day (this could be a tea or lunch break), if they work more than 6 hours a day.
Daily rest
Workers have the right to 11 hours rest between working days (eg if you finish work at 8pm, they shouldn’t start work again until 7am the next day).
Weekly rest
Workers have the right to:
∙ An uninterrupted 24 hours without any work each week, or
∙ 48 hours each fortnight
A worker’s employment contract may say they’re entitled to more or different rights to breaks from work.
Employee Holidays
Almost all workers are legally entitled to 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday per year (known as statutory leave entitlement or annual leave). An employer can include bank holidays as part of statutory
Part of the contract of employment also states the amount of hours which are required by the employee per week. These hours must be met, and are put forward by the employer on a weekly rota. However, the employee is also entitled to holidays and bank holidays off work, once they have worked a certain amount of time,
Breaks for health needs should be required so that those with health conditions can monitor their health properly. What’s covered under a health condition could vary, an example would be diabetes, and employees with this condition would need breaks to check blood sugar, take insulin, and eat to raise blood sugar if necessary. If someone is suffering from high

Full-Time 24-Hour and 13-Hour Workday Employees: For each holiday, full-time 24-hour and 13-hour workday employees receive 9 hours of holiday pay or 9 hours of holiday compensatory time.
Managers also routinize schedules which reinforces the similarities between OAH and a machine. Managers clearly set working hours for all hourly employees at five days a week (Monday through Friday) for eight hours each day. All hourly employees must take a fifteen-minute break in the morning, a one-hour lunch break during the afternoon, and a fifteen-minute break in the late afternoon every working day. Employees must show up precisely on time, and employees must not leave work even a minute early, or they could face disciplinary
Therefore, as soon as an employer offers rest or lunch breaks, the FLSA does regulate whether that time is compensable or un-compensable. In most instances, according to Summers and Rojas (2015), rest periods that last between 5 to 20 minutes are considered work time and have to be compensated, while a bona fide meal period, which generally lasts 30 minutes or more, is un-compensable. However, in order to ensure that a bona fide meal period does not have to be compensated, the employee must be “com¬pletely relieved from duty” (Summers, & Rojas, 2015). As soon as an employer requires an employee to perform particular work related duties during his/her bona fide meal period, the time to do so, has to be properly
Working hours: The working hours scheme by Australian central government which aims at workers’ right, states that if the labourers are working more than 49 hours a week then the industry has to pay them over time wages which further affect the demand and supply of labourers in the grocery industry. The National 38-hour working week was introduced
In Australia employees are entitled to various means of leave such as annual leave, sick & carer’s leave, compassionate leave, maternity & parental leave, long service leave and community service leave. Sick leave is often abused in Australia with the traditional Australian taking a “sickie”. A big weekend often leads to a hangover the next morning, often employees call in sick with fake reasons, they are then paid for their day off.
As for holidays in Peru, you would mostly only get the bank holidays as leave, for instance: for "Fiestas Patrias," which is the festivity for our independence day, and then other holidays are Easter, Labor day, Christmas, and a few other religious festivities. Some companies might give you extra days leave apart from these festivities, not many though. By comparison, in Ireland 4 weeks of paid leave, in addition to bank holidays is standard, and in France 5 weeks is normal.
The meal and rest break policy that management has set for the employees at PortuCal Peri Peri is legally incorrect. The current policy at this workplace states that if the employee works more than six hours he or she is allowed to have one unpaid 30 minute break. Also, after the first three hours the employee has worked they are allowed one paid 10 minute break, but cannot leave the workplace. Therefore, if the employee as works an eight hour shift, they are allowed one 30 minute and one 10 minute break. Usually, the manager will not schedule an employee to work over 8 hours in a workday.
Realign work schedules and ensure that employees do not work more than 40-hours per week. This solution may require hiring of additional staff to meet deadlines and work requirements.
The last leave/time off the company offers is FMLA. To qualify for time off through FMLA, employees must be employed for 12 month and a minimum of 1,250
If a staff functions in excess of a few hours in the date than a good lunch period must be provided. no matter whether a workforce is effective over 10 hours involving run in a great day, in comparison with they would be entitled to help a great second lunch period. What about the 10 or maybe 15 minute coffee break?

One of the only leave benefit that is required by law is the right to leave for a jury duty. However, because of the competition between the companies, all the employees are expected to have the right to have holiday or vacation leave, or getting 1.5 times more than a normal day, personal leave, sick leave, and bereavement leave (Required Employee Benefits). However, under the law, employers must provide leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or in short
