Product Description

Book Description

Few legal fields change as rapidly as employment law. New statutes influenced by, amongst others, the European Union and the European Court of Justice have 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 fourth edition - is a comprehensive guide to employment law which details these recent changes.

For an employee, it provides information on what laws protect them 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 the idea of seeking legal remedies through confrontation in the courts for violations of employment law has become increasingly acceptable in recent years.

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book with excellent features., 25 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Employment Law Made Easy 3rd Edition (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Brief encounter, 1 May 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Employment Law Made Easy (Hardcover)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sensible and Straightforward, 11 Sep 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Employment Law Made Easy (Paperback)
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.
