An employment relationship describes the dynamic, interlocking economic, legal, social and psychological relations that exist between individuals and their work organizations. Palgrave Macmillan (2013), Glossary [online] Available at: < http://www.palgrave.com/business/brattonandgold/glossary/glossary.htm> [Accessed 17th September 2013]. Factors that impact on this relationship both have a detrimental effect to the running of a business. I will focus on two internal and two external. These being:
Internal - Collective Bargaining:
Collective bargaining is a process of negotiations between employers and a group of employees aimed at reaching agreements that regulate working conditions. The interests of the employees are commonly

The benefits to the employer mirror those of the employee. Health and safety at work act 1974 also impacts on working time and breaks.
Working Hours
A worker’s working time, including overtime, shall not exceed an average of 48 hours for each seven days. It is currently possible for workers to sign a written agreement to opt out of the 48 hour weekly maximum. The agreement to opt out can be ended by the worker giving notice in writing. Under the Working Times Regulations 1998 the length of the notice required to opt out cannot be for a period of less than seven days or more than three months. Health and safety at work act 1974 also impacts on working time and breaks giving both parties time to recharge not being over tired. The employer has a more productive workforce if it they are not over worked.
Night working
The rights covering night working are governed under Working Times Regulations 1998, PART II RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS CONCERNING WORKING TIME, section 6. A night worker’s normal hours of work shall not exceed an average of eight hours for each 24 hours. The period must be 7 hours long and be within the period of midnight to 5am. Night works regulations stop employees over working and becoming tired. They also allow businesses to continue to trade through the night.

Maternity Leave
Women employees have the right to take up to one year’s (52 weeks’) maternity leave. All women have the right to return to their
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
The process of collective bargaining is a key part in the process of labor relations in the United States established in the Nation Labor Relations
When an employee starts a new company, there are several external and internal factors that impact on the employment relationship. Relationships affect both management and worker’s performance. The quality of these relationships have an effect on the organisation.
The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), (main aspect of law for the collective bargaining) is
According to Investopedia (N.D.), the term collective bargaining is the “Process of negotiating the terms of employment between an employer and a group of workers.” (Collective Bargaining, N.D.) However, this covers much more, such as compensation, personnel policies and procedures, employee rights and responsibilities, employer rights and responsibilities, union rights and responsibilities, and dispute resolution and ongoing decisions making. (Budd, 2012, Pp. 11- 12)
until 6 p.m. Some of the employees are wanting to have the hours changed so that all of the employees would be able to be off some of the week and some of the weekend. The superior management team has decided to start a trial work schedule for the emergency employees to work 24 hours on and 72 hours of work because this would allow the employees to have different days of throughout the weeks and the non-emergency employees to work 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and every other week work 7 a.m. until 12 p.m. so that they can take care of their personal business.
Collective bargaining is the process in which union representation and management negotiate topics that can have an effect on officers. Officers join together in a union to negotiate their contract with the company to define employment conditions such as hours, time off, benefits, safety issues, grievances, and salary. The United States began recognizing collective
Eight-hour work days are fair because the human body doesn't start to fully function till about four hours after they have woken up. Eight-hour work days also make it to where the employees are making more money and putting less stress on their bodies to where they are not completely exhausted when they get home. People will be able to feed and support there families because they are making twice the amount of money on a eight-hour work day
Situations such as these can cause serious damage to the economy, as well as the life of the average employee. I believe it is in the best interest of the person in charge of making such a decision to take into consideration every ounce of reason as to whether or not he or she should allow a six hour workday, as the result may be
Most people cannot even think straight at early hours in the morning. The first article relates to a corporation's study of productivity by tracking their employees' workrate. The test showed the wrokers took a seventeen minute break for every fifty-two minutes they worked. The results were that, "they had the highest productivity in the company." The author of the second article disagrees with this principle. They state that, "If workers continue to receive the same pay, then employees have to come up with the money to hire the additional staff needed to cover now-empty shifts." This is true , but I believe this is the very reason for the high unemployment rate in America. If we limit the number of workhours in a day, we would open more opportunities for unemployed Americans to get
My position on the issue of hours worked per day is it should become standard in the United states. An 8 hour work day is usually more dreadful. As is a 6 hour day is more leanient. A shorter work day will be less stressful and will make it more easy to stay on task.
Collective bargaining is the negotiation between union leaders and the company’s management that sets out the terms of employment such as working conditions, base pay, overtime, work hours, and benefits. By law, collective bargaining benefits all workers whether they are in the union or not and

The United States is full of people who go to work everyday. People often complain about the hours that they have to put into each week to get paid. Depending on the job you have, your hours can differentiate from a six hour work day, to a twelve hour work day.
Collective bargaining is a method used by trade unions to improve the terms and conditions of employment of their members. It tries to restore the unequal bargaining position between employer and employee. The principle of collective
