"Given we can neither manage people fairly nor well unless we as a minimum are managing lawfully this is a must-read publication for anyone studying the CIPD qualification and for anyone responsible for managing or advising on people management. A veritable page turner for the genre, with a range of tasks being included to embed learning and with a broad range of case law being used to bring the law to life! A comprehensive and highly recommended book."

"Kathy Daniels, once again, presents employment law in a succinct, logical and digestible format for the busy HR professional or learner. Following the full employment lifecycle and interspersed with great provocations in the form of 'tasks', the book adds real value for the practitioner trying to understand the law and its influence. My advice to colleagues and students alike: having Kathy Daniels to hand will improve your knowledge, your professional practice and the outcomes for your organization or studies."
