A clear introduction to UK employment law for HR and business students.
Introduction to Employment Law provides guidance to the principles of UK employment law and how they apply in the workplace. Written by Kathy Daniels, this textbook is designed for students studying the specialist employment law module on the CIPD Associate Diploma, as well as HR and business students who need a solid foundation in the subject.
Assuming no prior knowledge of the UK legal system, the book explains all key areas of employment law, including employment contracts, discrimination, redundancy and the legal duties of employers and employees. This fully updated eighth edition reflects the latest case law and legal developments, including changes arising from the Employment Rights Act 2025, making it suitable for both CIPD Associate Diploma and Advanced Diploma students, alongside those on general business degrees.
This textbook includes:
- Clear explanations of core employment law concepts and terminology
- Tasks, examples and explore further sections to support applied learning
- Key learning points to reinforce understanding and revision
- A dedicated study skills chapter to support academic success
- Online resources including an instructor's manual with teaching guidance
Whether preparing for a CIPD qualification or building essential legal knowledge for HR practice, Introduction to Employment Law equips students with the confidence and understanding to apply employment law effectively in academic and workplace contexts.
