SQE Plus Employment Law

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 comprehensively updated to take account of all the main recent and proposed developments in employment law and practice. 

The case law has been updated to take account the impact of Brexit and the EU Withdrawal Act and a number of key Supreme Court cases, including Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake (national minimum wage), Stoffel v Grondona (common law defence of illegality) and Uber v Aslam (employment status of Uber drivers).

This new 2024 edition of The University of Law SQE Plus manuals has been revised to bring the law and procedure up to date as at 1 October 2023.

This book is part of a series of study manuals that have been specially designed to cover content for students studying Key Practice Areas on the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2). Published and updated regularly, these user-friendly study manuals are designed to help you successfully acquire knowledge and understanding of the foundational law of England & Wales. This book can be used for the Employment Key Practice Area as part of the Commercial Pathway of the SQE Plus.

Each title is designed to operate as a study manual, rather than solely a textbook. This means that understanding of the subject is developed using worked examples and activities. 
For students only at The University of Law, the study manuals are used alongside other learning resources to prepare students not only for achievement of an academic qualification, but also for a future life in professional legal practice.
