Employment Law for Business
Students
This is a concise but
comprehensive text aimed at business studies and other groups of students taking a course
in employment law. The approach is practical and the law is described as it applies in the
workplace. The subject matter will be treated in a manner that simplifies the law and is
accessible to non-specialists. The theme is centred on an individual's employment from
recruitment, formation of the
employment contract, through to dismissal and redundancy.
The book starts with a discussion of the context of employment law so that students gain

tribunals, ACAS and European influences. The main body of employment law is then detailed,
giving statutory and case references where appropriate.
