International Handbook on Contracts of Employment

Different jurisdictions impose varied, complex, and frequently-changing requirements for employment contracts. Without guidance, practitioners can easily become mired in these complexities. Moreover, comparison of various countries' laws becomes difficult. International Handbook on Contracts of Employment solves this problem, keeping practitioners informed of the latest labour law requirements. This work provides broad coverage of labour laws in over twenty countries, answering such questions as: - Do pension arrangements within France obtain favourable tax treatments? - What are the legal requirements for hiring foreign nationals in Singapore? - How do the laws affecting plant closures differ from state to state in the United States? Prepared under the auspices of the Labour Law Committee of the Section on Business Law of the IBA, this work draws on the expertise of a team of top employment lawyers, with members of Committee P contributing chapters based on their expertise on the law in their respective countries. Numerous practical features enhance the usability of this resource:

- separate reports for each country, allowing easier comparison
- country chapters in alphabetical order with tabbed dividers
- clear headings to direct readers quickly to relevant material
- comprehensive contents and index

Regular supplementation ensures access to the most up-to-date information.
