Employers’ perspective: New understandings of employment law non-compliance

该项目旨在对有效的工作监管提出新的经验和理论见解，审查不遵守最低就业标准的重大问题。该项目采用创新的方法研究被忽视的雇主观点，并将监管理论与制度，市场和权力观点相结合，解决了我们对就业法如何运作的认识中的一个关键空白。预计成果将包括了解为什么有些雇主违反就业法，而其他人没有，提供政策建议，以加强合规，并反过来，有利于低薪工人，合规雇主和我们的法律的完整性。这项研究将在国际上得到广泛应用。

This project aims to generate new empirical and theoretical insights into effective regulation of work, reviewing the significant issue of non-compliance with minimum employment standards. Using an innovative approach examining the neglected employer viewpoint, and combining regulation theory with institutional, market and power perspectives, the project addresses a critical gap in our knowledge of how employment laws operate. Outcomes are expected to include understanding why some employers breach employment laws while others do not, providing policy recommendations to enhance compliance and, in turn, benefit underpaid workers, compliant employers and the integrity of our laws. The research will have widespread international application.
