Gain a thorough grounding in the core principles and practices of employment law with this essential guide from the HR Fundamentals series.

The updated third edition of Employment Law is a clear and practical guide to understanding the complex, important system that regulates the relationship between employers and employees in the UK.

Understanding and applying the law effectively at work is essential for organizations. Employment Law offers a complete overview of the core components that form the interactions between an organization, its employees and the HR function. The third edition includes the latest developments and changes in law and HR perspectives, with new material on the changeability of the law, equal pay and parental leave.

Featuring practical tools, checklists, case studies and real-life examples, Employment Law builds legal knowledge in key areas including recruitment, contracts, discrimination, equal pay, health and safety and managing the end of the employment relationship. It is supported by case studies on topics such as early conciliation, implied rights and diversity and inclusion and online resources including person specification templates and appraisal forms and additional references.

Liz has written this second edition of Employment Law with HR students and the newly qualified HR professional in mind. It is a valuable jargon-free introduction to employment law and I thoroughly recommend it as an indispensable guide for business and HR students needing to understand employment law and for those applying employment law to the workplace.
