Details

Written with human resources and business students in mind, and suitable for those on CIPD courses, Taylor and Emir provide a complete and practical introduction to legal issues in the workplace. Conversational and contextual in style, the authors guide students through this technical subject area by explaining the law in uncomplicated language and using supportive examples.

Activities are interspersed throughout the text, presenting readers with realistic problems, enabling them to see the law at work and consider how the legal rules might apply. Regular 'Exhibit' boxes present significant case examples and academic debates helping students digest the salient principles.

A unique part on law in action introduced students to the employment tribunal procedure and walks them through how to prepare and present a case equipping them with practical skills for beyond their studies.
