Explanatory Notes
Employment Law Made Easy
Employment Law Made Easy contains all you need to know about current employment legislation, and what this means for a company and its personnel. This easy to read guide provides a broad overview of basic employment law principles. It will alert you to the conditions, practices, responsibilities, duties and remedies that fall within the scope of employment law, and help you navigate your way through them. The extensive legislation in the UK is intended to replace the notion of conflict between employers and employees with the promotion of partnership and the encouragement of flexible working. While this notion should be encouraged, the practical effect of the new legislation is to increase individual rights and place an even greater responsibility on the employer to ensure that it complies with its new 'employee-friendly' obligations. One of the purposes of this book is to promote good communications in the workplace. It may draw your attention to areas of potential or actual conflict. When they arise, disputes can usually be resolved through deliberate, honest negotiation. No employer enjoys having to take disciplinary action – let alone dismiss an employee – because of the sense of failure it frequently brings on both sides. But if dismissal is the only course of action, it must be done in a legally acceptable way. Contents:
