All employers are expected to deal with an increasingly complex legal framework, which they ignore at their peril. The Employer's Handbook is a comprehensive, reliable and affordable source of practical guidance that will ensure they keep on the right side of the law. This new edition has been fully updated to take account of the 2006 budget and its implications. There is also access to a unique website providing valuable sample material for all employers. Mixes law and practice in exactly the way which directors of small companies find most useful, and it is written and laid out with rare clarity. It covers a very wide range of employment and personnel issues, and for most purposes, in exactly the right level of detail. Pamela Bater, former Head of Business Services, the Institute of Directors
