Written specifically for HR and Business students, Introduction to Employment Law is a clear and accessible guide to employment law and how it applies in practice.
Covering everything from employment tribunals and discrimination to redundancy and termination of employment, this textbook doesn't assume any prior knowledge of the UK legal system and equips students with all the knowledge and skills that they need to take forward into the workplace. With coverage of both atypical and variation contracts including agency, part-time and fixed term workers as well as flexible working and zero hours contracts, this book ensures that students have a thorough understanding of all types of employment contracts.
Fully revised with all the latest legal updates and developments, this new edition includes coverage of hot topics such as the definition of a worker in the gig economy, the legal implications of GDPR and the ways the Taylor Review recommendations are changing employment law.
Packed with pedagogical features to consolidate learning including chapter objectives, tasks, 'explore further' sections, key learning points and examples to work through, as well as a dedicated study skills chapter, Introduction to Employment Law is essential reading for all students studying the CIPD Level 5 Intermediate module in employment law as well as all those on undergraduate and postgraduate courses needing a thorough grounding in employment law. Online resources include lecture slides, case studies, multiple choice questions, annotated weblinks and an instructor's manual.
