    Area of Science:

    • Employment Law
    • Contract Law
    • Human Resources

    Background:

    • Employment contracts encompass express and implied terms.
    • Employee conduct and probationary period agreements shape contractual obligations.
    • Established legal precedents guide termination procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the foundational elements of employment contracts.
    • To define the conditions under which employee termination is permissible.
    • To outline the criteria for summary dismissal based on cause.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of implied terms based on job roles (e.g., nurse vs. secretary).
    • Evaluation of conduct-based terms and employer's response.
    • Examination of express and implied agreements, including probationary acceptance.

    Main Results:

    • Employment contracts are derived from explicit agreements, implied understandings, and consistent conduct.
    • Failure to address unacceptable employee conduct can establish it as an accepted contract term.
    • Summary dismissal is permissible only for specific causes, necessitating adherence to legal tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Employment contracts are multifaceted, incorporating explicit terms, implied expectations, and behavioral norms.
    • Reasonable notice is a standard requirement for termination, with exceptions for proven cause.
    • The 'Stilwell v. Audio Pictures Ltd.' case provides a framework for assessing grounds for summary dismissal.
