Hired, Fired or Sick & Tired?

This practical guide to employment law is neither legalistic nor over-simplified. It offers common-sense advice, with a question-and-answer format and numerous case studies. The book comprehensively covers: full- and part-time employment rights; contract terms; pay; overtime; equal rights; discrimination; discipline; sexual harrassment; paternity and maternity rights; and the key subject of employment termination, including fair and unfair dismissals, redundancy and industrial tribunals. Every day, people at work gain more rights, and employers have to be even more careful how they act towards their employees.
