About this course

This course summarizes the employer’s obligations under EU employment and workplace legislation and how national law implements them: employment terms and the information employees must receive, working time and leave, equal treatment and non-discrimination, health and safety including psychosocial risks, remuneration and pay transparency in outline, employee consultation and whistleblowing, and the records and procedures an employer needs in place. Finnish law is the worked example. It’s written for HR teams and managers, and for legal and compliance professionals.

Employer obligations are carried out by managers as much as by HR: the one who approves overtime, handles a request for leave, decides on a hire or hears a complaint. When those decisions rest on habit rather than the rule, the organization finds out in a dispute or an inspection. The course gives HR and managers one shared baseline of what the law asks and which records prove it; the employment Skills courses in this category go on to contracts, changes and terminations, pay transparency, safety, whistleblowing and equal treatment in practice.

Employment Rights and Workplace Responsibilities FAQ

Yes. Every TechClass user license includes the Essentials courses in the Course Library, and this is one of them. There is no fee per course or per learner.

About 60 minutes, in short lessons. It is self-paced, so a learner can stop and continue on any device, including the mobile app, and offline.

Yes. A certificate of completion is issued when the knowledge check is passed, and the completion is recorded for your reporting.

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.

Library courses are ready to use as they are. You can build and fully edit your own courses in TechClass, including from your own policies with the AI Course Creator, and combine both in one learning program.

An Essentials course gives everyone the concepts and rules in about an hour. A Skills course goes deeper for the roles that need it: about 8 hours with practice, a graded assessment and a certificate that lists the skills, licensed per learner.
