Few legal fields change as quickly as employment law. New legislation from Europe has meant that employment law is constantly being tested, reshaped and redefined. A number of developments regarding employees' rights have been made over the past year, and as a result, they have affected the relationship between employer and employee.
This book - just updated and now in its seventh edition - is a comprehensive guide to employment law which details these recent changes, including the introduction of the age discrimination laws.
For an employee, it provides information on what laws protect you in the workplace, and also discusses the changes in the law which could affect employers and their companies. For an employer, being aware of such issues is vital, as more and more employment disputes end up in court.
Written by an employment law solicitor, one of the purposes of Employment Law Made Easy is to promote good communications in the workplace. By drawing attention to areas of potential or actual conflict, these disputes can be resolved more easily through honest negotiation, without the use of disciplinary action.
Valid in England & Wales and Scotland.
