The author is an acknowledged employment law expert who clearly understands the needs of advisers and trade union representatives. There is clear and succinct commentary on the rapidly growing body of case-law, thorough consideration of the relevant domestic legislation, EU treaties and directives, and practical step-by-step guidance on running a case.
This book aims to make this ever-evolving, and sometimes complex, area of law accessible to both employment law specialists and non-lawyers. Each chapter starts with a useful summary of key points and there is extensive cross-referencing throughout to further aid navigation. The main text is supported by a wealth of precedents, checklists, questionnaires, signposts to other resources and a glossary of terms.
The eighth edition of Employment law has been updated to include:
- the new ACAS regime replacing the statutory dispute resolution procedures
- the return of Polkey
- Disability Discrimination Act post-Lewisham LBC v Malcolm

- expanded coverage of public sector equal pay cases
- the latest cases on who is an employee

Employment law: an adviser's handbook is the essential guide for voluntary sector advisers, Law Centres®, trade union representatives, lawyers and any individual looking for a comprehensive, yet accessible, guide to employment law.
