An A-Z of Employment Law

Since the publication of the last edition there has been a flood of new legislation enhancing the rights of employees and imposing more duties and responsibilities on employers. This fourth edition has been comprehensively updated and provides practical guidance on new legislation and on selected and pertinent decisions by the tribunals and courts. This includes information on: parental leave; unfair dismissal; disciplinary and grievance procedures; holidays and holiday pay; working time (young persons); the national minimum wage; adoption leave and pay; paternity leave and pay; new maternity rights; flexible working; fixed-term employees; part-time workers; the Tax Credits Act 2002; and the Employment Act 2002. Complete with useful addresses and advice about alternative sources of information (such as codes of practice and DTI guidance notes), this reference book is a desktop companion for UK managers and industrial relations law students.
