From the Paper:

"In conclusion, as shown from the simulation, employment law and the auspices surrounding the issue are expansive. The legal issues in the workforce stem from hiring, interviewing, dismissals and all aspects of labor activities. Employment risk plays a major part within this overall area. As shown from the simulation, it coincides with all legal issues in the workforce and even outlines aspects of the principal-agent problem studied in economics. Nevertheless, its understanding is important to the sustainability of an organization as is clearly outlined for FastServe."
