Joint Employment Theory

Joint Employment Theory refers to a situation where two separate entities share responsibility for an employee's work conditions and rights. This can occur when a worker is employed by one company but performs tasks or is managed by another company. In such cases, both employers may be held accountable for issues like wages, working hours, and benefits. This theory aims to protect workers from exploitation by ensuring that multiple entities cannot deny responsibility for fair treatment and legal obligations towards the employee. It emphasizes collaborative accountability in the employer-employee relationship.
