Review:

"Guides employers through the maze of employment issues." The Times "A practical, jargon-free guide... focuses on both the legal and non-legal essentials for effective people management." People Management "Easy to read and clearly presented in the usual excellent Kogan Page style. It is a hands-on text, not academic... a source of practical information for any small- to medium-sized employer." Training Journal "A goldmine of hands-on, non-legalese expert advice and information." Business Plus "Mixes law and practice in exactly the way which directors of small companies find most useful, and it is written (and laid out) with rare clarity. It covers a very wide range of employment and personnel issues and for most purposes in exactly the right level of detail." Pamela Bater, former Head of Business Services, the Institute of Directors
