Employment protection legislation (or "EPL") is a set of laws and regulations that help protect workers from being fired without a good reason. This means that employers have to think very carefully before they decide to fire someone, because they have to make sure they are following the rules in the EPL. It also helps make sure employers pay workers fairly, give them the right amount of holiday days and make sure they are treated with respect in the workplace. This helps make sure that workers are safe and can do their jobs without fear of losing them unjustly.
