This is the third, up-dated edition of The Employment Law Pocketbook, published November 2009. It provides managers and HR professionals with a quick and ready grasp of employment law. Written from the perspective of employers rather than lawyers, the pocketbook explains how to avoid taking actions that prove indefensible in law and how to follow procedures that meet statutory requirements and can be shown to be fair. It also details what records need to be kept and when and where advice should be sought. From making selection decisions and appointments to dismissals and redundancies, the content covers all aspects of employment law including working with trade unions, workplace and attendance problems, and health and safety matters. Co-author Malcolm Martin has designed and delivered workshops in basic employment law for a good number of years, while Tricia Jackson has written numerous books in the CIPD Good Practice series.
