All the guidance an employment lawyer needs to draft and intepret service agreements is contained in this work. Covering all types of service agreements between an employer and employee, this book not only examines the law surrounding this area, it demonstrates the drafting process step-by-step with the help of sample agreements and checklists. Fully up-to-date with the law as it currently stands, this edition takes account of the Trade Union Reform and Employee Rights Act 1993, recent case law including those involving termination and breach of agreement, and deals succinctly with overseas employment and considers the tax issues. Certain sections of the book have been revised to bring them in line with current trends and developments in the area. These include: statement of terms, performing the duties, variation of agreements, competition during employment, poaching employees, and ending employment.
