Introduction to Employment Law

Introduction to Employment Law: Fundamentals for HR and Business Students, 7th Edition, offers an accessible, jargon-free overview of UK employment law and practical workplace applications. The textbook establishes a thorough foundation in core legal principles for human resource and business students.

The text examines central areas of employment practice, including contract formation, discrimination rules, redundancy procedures, and the legal duties shared by employers and employees. It also addresses statutory workplace frameworks, incorporating recent updates on family leave provisions such as Carer's Leave.

The volume assumes no prior study of the UK legal framework, making it suitable for learners taking the specialist employment law module for the CIPD Associate Diploma. It also serves as an introduction for Advanced Diploma candidates and students enrolled in general business degrees.
