Employment Law is a clear, accessible and jargon-free guide to UK
employment law and how it applies in practice.

employment contracts, discrimination, redundancy and employment
tribunals. There is also expert guidance on key issues including shared
parental leave, flexible working policies and protected characteristics.
Fully revised with the latest cases and legal developments, this new

leave, furlough practices and the legal implications of Brexit. This

equips students with the knowledge and skills that they need to take
forward into the workplace.
Packed with pedagogical features to consolidate learning including
tasks, examples, explore further sections and key learning points as
well as a dedicated study skills chapter covering employment law
assignments and exams, Introduction to Employment Law is essential
reading for all students studying the CIPD Level 5 Intermediate module
in employment law. It is also an accessible introduction for Level 7
students and those on undergraduate and postgraduate business courses
needing a thorough grounding in employment law. Online resources include
