Author Description

Product Description This is a concise but comprehensive text aimed at business studies and other groups of students taking a course in employment law. The approach is practical and the law is described as it applies in the workplace. The subject matter will be treated in a manner that simplifies the law and is accessible to non-specialists. The theme is centred on an individual's employment from recruitment, formation of the employment contract, through to dismissal and redundancy. The book starts with a discussion of the context of employment law so that students gain an appreciation of how it has developed into its present form. Discussion covers the institutions of employment law, Industrial tribunals, ACAS and European influences. The main body of employment law is then detailed, giving statutory and case references where appropriate.
