Employment Law introduces the issues involved in the regulation of employees and their relations with their employers. It explains the framework governing employment contracts, dismissal procedures and redundancy payments. The book also covers TUPE, discrimination law and family-friendly legislation, as well as practice and procedure.

The book has been updated to take account of all the main recent and proposed developments in employment law and practice, including the new Employment Rights Bill and Labour’s plans for extending time limits for bringing claims, new day one rights for unfair dismissal, the Allocation of Tips Act 2023 and accompanying statutory Code of Practice, recent changes to the law on sexual harassment, a number of Acts which have extended ‘family friendly’ rights, new Regulations on record-keeping requirements under the Working Time Regulations and ‘rolled-up’ holiday pay for irregular hours and part-year workers, and the calculation of annual leave for such workers (to address the decision in Harpur Trust) as well as changes to the composition of Tribunal panels.

The Supreme Court judgments in HMRC v Professional Game Match Officials Ltd, on the employment status of part-time football referees, and Tesco Stores v USDAW, on the practice of ‘fire and rehire’, are included.

The case law has been updated to take account of a number of significant EAT decisions including, for example on the meaning of a ‘series of deductions’ after last year’s Supreme Court decision in Agnew (British Airways plc v Mello and Deksne v Ambitions Ltd) (Chapter 1); on the issue of mutual consent and termination (Riley v Direct Line Insurance) and Omar v Epping Forest District Citizens Advice looking at the general position on whether a notice of termination (whether of resignation or dismissal) has been effectively given (Chapter 3). Chapter 5 now includes a discussion, post the 2019 Supreme Court decision in Jhuti, of the relevance of the knowledge and motivation of decision makers in whistleblowing detriment cases (William v Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and First Greater Western Ltd v Moussa); Chapter 6 has been updated to include a number of recent EAT decisions on procedural matters (Ramos v Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid and Addison Lee v Afshar (deposit orders)); Wakeman v Boys and Maughan Solicitors (unless orders); Hargreaves v Evolve, Bharaj v Santander UK PLC and Chevalier-Firescu v HSBC Bank PLC (strike out); and A v Choice Support and Ajao v Commerzbank AG (anonymity and reporting restrictions)). Chapter 7 (TUPE) includes Newman v Rollandene looking at what is a relevant transfer under reg 3.

The case law on discrimination has been updated to include Jones v Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (just and equitable extensions in a direct race discrimination case), religion and belief as a protected characteristic (Thomas v Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Omooba v Michael Garrett Associates Ltd), Rentokil Initial UK Ltd v Miller and Cairns v Royal Mail Group Ltd (on reasonable adjustments) and British Airways PLC v Rollett (on associative discrimination).

The book is up to date as at 1 October 2024, although account has been taken of some later developments as at 25 November 2024.
