"Aimed at CIPD and other HRM students this textbook authoritatively covers employment law and is soundly structured, well-written, and up to date. It includes chapter overviews, activities prompting reflection, key learning points, a glossary, and online resources for students and staff."

"Now in its 16th edition, 'Employment Law, The Essentials' remains the leading textbook for the CIPD advanced Employment Law module. This book covers all key areas of employment law and includes up-to-date case law and legislative amendments. It is well-structured and accessible, including clear learning outcomes, reflective activities, case studies, and suggestions for further reading and useful websites in each chapter. I highly recommend this extremely valuable resource for all HR professionals, business leaders, and those who are studying employment law on HRM or business degrees."
