Author Description

Employment Law is a thorough and practical introduction to the issues involved in the regulation of employees and their relations with their employers. In clear, succinct language it explains the framework governing employment contracts, dismissal procedures, redundancy payments, working time and maternity rights. It also highlights the increasing obligations placed upon employers with regard to discrimination and health and safety at work. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include a new chapter, focusing on the new statutory dispute resolution procedures and the new tribunal rules that have been introduced as a result. The chapter includes references to the first EAT decisions that have started to emerge on the new regulations and procedures, including Grimmer, Richardson vs Mole, Moroak and Noskiw.
