MSLV4700 Labour Law in Change Processes Course description

The course covers labour law problematisation with particular relevance to reorganisation and change processes. Employers' need for flexibility and change is seen in light of employees' need for protection and predictability. Changes measures can vary in nature and scope. The course takes the legal framework that an employment contract entails as its point of departure, and problematises change needs relating to the individual employee, reorganisation related to parts of or the whole enterprise, rationalisation and workforce reductions, and changes that lead to transfer of duties or activities to another employer. In addition to relevant legislation and collective agreements, emphasis is also placed on relevant rulings. The course will focus on the public sector.

None

The exam comprises a semester assignment with a scope of 5,000 words (+/- 10%). The assignment can be written individually or in pairs on agreement with the person responsible for the course.

Candidates who fail or who have documented valid grounds for absence from the ordinary exam can take a resit/rescheduled exam. Candidates who fail the semester assignment must write a new assignment with a new research question.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass and F for fail is used.

All answer papers are assessed by an internal examiner. At least 25% of them will be assessed by an external examiner. An external examiner will also be used when there is doubt about whether a pass grade should be awarded. The grades awarded for the papers assessed by the external and internal examiners form the basis for determining the level for awarding the different grades. The internal examiner shall take the external examiner's assessment into consideration in the grading of all the exams.
