The International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations provides information to the international business and labour relations communities, facilitates comparative research in the field, and contributes to the growing harmonization of labour law and standards worldwide. With well over a hundred detailed country monographs, international monographs and European Works Council monographs, it is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind in existence.

Each national monograph, written by one or more experts in the field from the country under discussion, covers such important aspects of labour law as the following:

• rights and duties of parties during employment;
• working time, vacations, holidays;
• remuneration and benefits;
• incapacity to work;
• protection against discrimination;
• covenants of non-competition;
• dispute settlement;
• trade union freedom; and
• strikes, lock-outs and other legal forms of industrial action.

Both individual and collective labour relations are covered, with attention to developing trends in the management–labour relationship. International monographs deal with standards set by prominent international organizations, and the European Works Council reports information on the implementation of the Directive on European Works Councils in the various jurisdictions.

As a result of the breadth of coverage and clear, logical format that characterizes the Encyclopaedia and its monographs, lawyers who handle matters in labour and industrial relations anywhere in the world can proceed with awareness of the applicable law in each country. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative labour law.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
