This reference book is written specifically for everyone requiring reliable, accessible and up-to-date information on labour law - in particular those outside the legal profession.

This edition is revised to include expanded coverage of developments around the EU Social Chapter and the European Convention of Human Rights; the Disability Discriminiation Act 1995; the Employment Rights Act 1996; and the Industrial Tribunal Act 1996. In addition, the book covers in-work State benefits and out-of-work State benefits.
