Details

Introduction to Employment Law is a clear, accessible and jargon-free guide to UK employment law and its application in the workplace.

Written specifically for HR and business students, this book provides a thorough grounding in the essentials of employment law. All areas of employment law are addressed, including employment contracts, discrimination, redundancy and the legal duties of both the employer and the employee. This new edition has been updated throughout to cover the latest case law and legal developments including changes to annual leave, areas of family leave including Carer's Leave and developments in discrimination legislation. Assuming no prior knowledge of the UK legal system, this is ideal reading for all those studying the specialist employment law module on the CIPD Associate Diploma. It is also an accessible introduction for Advanced Diploma students and those on general business degrees who need an introduction to UK employment law.

This book is packed with pedagogical features to help consolidate learning including tasks, examples, explore further sections, key learning points and a dedicated study skills chapter.

Reviews

Neil Pritchard, Business Undergraduate Programme Leader, North Wales Business School, Wrexham Glyndwr University

Offers a jargon-free, highly accessible introduction to employment law for both HR practitioners and students at all levels.

Elspeth Woods, Programme Manager and CIPD tutor, Northampton College

The fifth edition of this excellent textbook is a boon for CIPD students studying at levels 5 and 7. It has clarity without overkill, and the wide range of citations and case studies to work through make it an excellent tool for students and tutors alike. The section on study skills in employment law is of particular help to students who often struggle to know where to start looking when they begin researching legal issues.

Adelaide Shone, CIPD Lecturer, Cheshire College South and West

Provides a valuable source of reference for students and HR practitioners. A clear and practical approach to the fundamentals of employment law, strengthened by critical and detailed examination of case law, gives the reader a thoroughly revised, comprehensive and accessible introduction to this key area of HRM practice.

Carole Parkes, Professor of Responsible Management, University of Winchester Business School

Kathy Daniel's Introduction to Employment Law has become a 'go to' textbook for employment law. It covers all aspects of the ever-changing landscape of employment law together with the background and context for UK law, and is written in a very accessible way with key learning points, the incorporation of important cases and suggestions for further research and study.
