Publisher's Synopsis
This is a complete resource of employment law and personnel practice. This book comes at a time when managers are faced with still more new legislation, obligations and potential penalties. This is an essentially practical book: in a straightforward, no-jargon manner it explains what the law is and then what to do, providing expert advice on every aspect of employment practice from recruitment, pay and incentives to maternity/paternity leave, personnel records, contracts, holidays, harassment, discipline and grievance procedures and performance management. Case studies of tribunal decisions add valuable extra guidance. "This book covers everything you need to know about good employment practice from Absence to Zeitgeist (spirit of the times). Mini case studies are included as well as formats for expense forms, for example, which may be particularly useful for the smaller business. This is a really useful book. Every manager should have one." - Professional Manager ("Journal of the Chartered Management Institute").
