In the UK, employers who have robust systems and procedures in place, the right paper trail, and the right documents, stand a much greater chance of successfully resisting employment tribunal claims. This book explains how UK employment law can be used to the company's advantage by clearly stating what companies need to know, and in many cases, why. The guide explains: what systems and procedures are necessary, why, and what can go wrong if these are not in place * how to recruit fairly * the different forms of an employment relationship that an employer may have with staff * job descriptions * staff handbooks * personnel files * tax and national insurance * how employees can sue in UK tribunals * personal injury claims * data protection infringement claims * protection of intellectual property from theft by employees.
