دانلود کتاب قانون استخدام – یک مقدمه عملی

The pace of change of legislation makes it difficult for both employers and employees to keep up to date with their rights and responsibilities in the business world. The general public view Employment Tribunals through the eyes of the media. Employers read about employees who have taken discrimination cases winning large sums, and fear the cost of Employment Tribunals. The removal of fees in July 2017 increased the risk for employers, as employees have easier access to justice. Since then, the numbers of claims have been variable but the trend has increased. In fact, in the period March 2020–21 there was a total of 43,705 Employment Tribunal claims compared to 39,802 the previous year. This was to be expected with increased redundancy as the furlough scheme ended, changes in working conditions and increased unemployment due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is uncertain whether tribunal case numbers will continue to increase after the impact of the pandemic has lessened. This is the environment in which human resources (HR) professionals practice. We, as HR professionals, support line managers and senior managers to apply the law in our day-to-day work, and through the policies and procedures of the company we apply law to support employees to gain their rights and understand their responsibilities. With our up-to-date advice and our attempts to support the company to build an atmosphere of trust, we protect the company from Employment Tribunal claims. If there are claims we may find that we are involved in gathering evidence for the company’s lawyer and may be called as a witness for the company, to give an account of our involvement in the case. It is the HR professional who is viewed by the company as the expert in employment law, and it is a heavy responsibility. This book has been written to help HR professionals to build their expertise in order to support both employers and employees.
