Employment law for the construction industry Second edition

by Michael Ryley (Author, Editor), Edward Goodwyn (Author, Editor)

Employment law for the construction industry second edition: The construction industry is a major employer and generates issues which are specific to the industry.

Employment Law for the Construction Industry has been written as a guide for those working in the industry, who have to deal day-to-day with these issues and who need to be able to access quick, easy and practical advice.

Employment law for the construction industry second edition is fully revised and deals in particular with changing attitudes to status, the revised tax scheme, the revisions to TUPE and important developments in the fields of discrimination and immigration.

The management of employment law issues has always been an important part of running any construction project.

As employee rights are extended and as regulation increases, the significance of these issues is growing continually.

Employment Law for the Construction Industry has been written as a guide for those working in the construction industry who have to deal with day-today employment issues and who need to be able to access quick, easy and practical advice.

A multitude of general works has already been written which explain the principles of employment law, and it is not our intention to add another.

Our approach starts from the perspective that the range of employment issues specific to the construction industry, in which some 10% of the UK workforce is employed, justifies a book devoted to them alone.
