Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic guide to employment law. It goes into a considerable amount of detail on each topic, while also making it easy and enjoyable. It covers a wide range of topics including contracts, tribunals, minimum wages, grievance procedures and tax. A fantastic guide for students as well as employers. It has example letters to show the information clearly, and bullet points throughout making it easier and more memorable to read. It also includes the dates in which the law was made. Also the chapters that the book is divided into are structured, which is very helpful if you are reading the whole book at once as it makes it more simple to understand. A fantastic buy...which I would highly recommend.

I am an HR practitioner who, although not wishing to read through reams of statutes on employment law, does need to be aware of a detailed amount of information relating to existing and new legislation and the implications for the business.
In my review of this book, perhaps because of my previous law degree experience, I consider this book to be scarce in its detail provided. It does not provide a significant enough amount of information and there are many important topics (e.g. TUPE) which are acknowledged by the author to be beyond the scope of this book. I think, had I known this, I probably would not have bought the book, as some of the key areas of employment law for practitioners are about handling change at the moment.
Having said that, for any individuals who want to be able to skim an overview of current legal practice and some of the key statutes likely to affect their workplace, it is a useful introduction. But in order to be able to write policies, for example, I personally feel a wider grounding in employment law would be needed, and this book does not provide that level of detail.

This is the book that I come back to again and again. It is well laid-out and sensible. There are no hoops to go through, in terms of understanding different processes, and plenty of samples to follow if you need them. It is a very valuable quick reference guide too - especially useful for busy HR practitioners.

Too Simple
This book is ok and like it states it does make employment law easy. However it is fair to simple and does not go into detail.
