The Employer's Handbook Summary

The Employer's Handbook by Bob Watt (University of Essex, UK)

The Pocket Lawyer series is designed for members of the public who want 'how to' guidance in situations that would normally require expert advice.

Each title:

  • contains all the information you need in one book
  • has an accessible and user-friendly layout and structure
  • is supported by a companion website providing free updates and ready-to-use documents and letters.

Employers, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, can have a difficult time understanding and fulfilling their legal obligations. This practical guide steers you safely and sympathetically through the maze of regulations that affect employers. It offers a contract of employment which is fair to both employer and employee, explains the terms (buzzwords) which are important in this area of law, and answers some of the most frequently asked questions on the subject.
