This is a textbook on UK employment law which is both introductory and comprehensive. It is aimed primarily at people who have not studied law previously but who are studying for qualifications at either undergraduate or postgraduate level (which include employment law modules). The book is written in an accessible style, offering explanations of all key concepts, together with examples from case law to help readers understand all major developments in the field. It differs from other texts on employment law in its extensive coverage of debates about the law. There is thus a considerable amount of evaluative material included alongside chapters which describe and explain the law. Comparative examples are included wherever possible. Practical aspects of bringing and defending claims in employment tribunals are also covered.Online Resource CenterThe book is accompanied by an online resource centre which includes updates, a guide to publications, self-test questions, and additional case studies (with questions).
