Employment Law and Practice begins by addressing the crucial
issue of a person's employment status before going on to look at key employment
rights, including the national minimum wage and working time regulations. Next,
it examines the complex law relating to discrimination as well as the
application of employment law to recruitment and the contract of
employment.
The book then explains key family-friendly rights, including
maternity and paternity leave and pay. It discusses policies and procedures
during employment, before reviewing the termination of employment, including
unfair and wrongful dismissal and redundancy.
Transfers of undertakings are explained together with an
outline of the procedures at employment tribunals. The formalities and uses of
settlement agreements are also discussed.
Finally, the future of Employment Law is reviewed, including
the implications of technological change on employment.
The book is supported by a number of activities and links to
practice which reflect the author's wide-ranging experience in employment
practice.
Employment Law and Practice is the recommended textbook for
the CILEX Professional Stage Employment Law and Practice module, but it will
also provide invaluable guidance for law students and junior employment lawyers
who are seeking to improve their knowledge and practical skills in this area.
