The New Employment Contract: Using Employment Contracts EffectivelyThis ground-breaking text for managers, personnel professionals and students is the first to bring together the creative detail of employment contract law with the wider agendas of modern management and EU influences. Contracts in their various forms are the key item that underpins all employment relationships and the capability to anticipate and endure change as well as avoiding disputes. If disputes arise the well crafted and well managed contract might itself provide the solution. The book analyses the way contracts are drafted and managed. It explores the way in which contracts can be used effectively to translate and reflect organizational policies and respond to external imperatives, especially often fast moving employment law itself. It deals with many of the practical issues facing managers - flexible contracts, managing employee performance, dealing with misconduct and ending contracts effectively. |
