Increasingly effected by EC law, employment law is a challenging subject for students and requires knowledge of common law, statute and statutory instruments as well as the institutions for resolving disputes. This new edition, previously entitled "Principles of Employment Law", presents and analyses the law in a clear, straight-forward manner which guides the reader through the intricacies of employment law. Emphasis is placed on the substantive and procedural topics usually encountered on traditional employment, labour or industrial relations law courses while the law is placed in the context of industrial relations theory, collective bargaining and current government policy. Fully revised and updated, this new edition contains new sections on sexual orientation discrimination and religious discrimination while the treatment of disability discrimination has been substantially revised to take into account recent legislation. Particular attention is paid to areas which students often find difficult and important cases are judgements are referred to throughout. Designed for modularised courses, this book provides comprehensive and engaging coverage of the law of employment as required at undergraduate level.
