  There has been a widespread feeling that previous student texts on employment law have either been oversimplified, with insufficient detail, or so detailed that it is difficult for students to get a broad understanding of the subject. Gwyneth Pitt has written Employment Law with a view to striking a balance, giving the student a succinct account of the foundations of the law of employment and industrial relations, but also promoting a better understanding of the law. The text offers a critical approach to stimulate further thought, discussion and to foster the student's ability to act as an independent researcher in keeping with the current emphasis on skills. Furthermore, the law is presented within the context of real issues that arise in the workplace to promote better understanding and also within the wider context of international and European developments. This area of law is subject to a substantial flow of cases, statutes, codes and directives, and the primary aim of the text is to present this ever-increasing body of law in a concise way.

  Employment Law now in its 4th edition, is the ideal text for those seeking a succinct account of employment law and industrial relations law, whether to obtain an initial overview of the subject or for use as an accompaniment to employment law courses, particularly modular courses. The law is set in the context of experience in the workplace, and also within the wider social and political framework, in order to promote a proper understanding of how the law works in reality. This edition has been significantly rewritten to reflect the different climate in employment relations since the election of the Labour government in 1997, and to incorporate the many important developments which have occurred in this area of law in the last few years. Employment Law is an extremely popular guide to this complex area of law, and will prove invaluable to students, practitioners and professionals involved with employment law issues.
