Employers and the Law

Abstract

This is an area which worries many employers, especially those with small businesses. I have often had it said to me that once you employ someone then you cannot get rid of them. Other worries are usually concerned with wages, holidays, redundancy or short time. This chapter will help you with the main areas of employment law but it is no substitute for sound legal advice. If you have an employment problem do see your solicitor. All the law stated is as at October 1983.
