"The compact yet extremely informative text will prove invaluable to both students and professionals in in the HR and legal fields. What stands out is the clarity in which complicated concepts are broken down and no assumption of legal knowledge is made, or jargon used. Diagrams are used where appropriate to ensure a full understanding of systems and processes. I thoroughly recommend this text."

"This book has been written clearly and concisely and will be very useful to students as well as professionals. Each topic covers comprehensive aspects of case law and case studies for easy understanding. How I wish this book was out while I was studying my MSc. in Human Resources Management to easily learn key points with ease and to acquire good grades. A must buy."

"When looking for a good text, you have to ask yourself what learners, HR professionals and line managers with responsibility for people actually need and want: knowledge which is accessible, comprehensive and easy to apply in the real world. Employment law and practice are dynamic areas which often require quick decision-making rather than trawling through dry accounts of case law for an answer. This book offers that depth and knowledge while remaining a concise and easily understood reference point for a diverse range of employment and HR topics."
