This guide offers an insight into the numerous problems of employment law as they impact on construction firms and practitioners, including the use of sub-contractors and part-timers. It also addresses the important issues of employer's liabilities, tax and training. Written in a similarly straightforward, user-friendly style as the companion Masons'guides, the authors use devices such as checklists to illustrate particularly salient points. With claims from disgruntled employees becoming increasingly common and larger liabilities being placed on employers, this book meets a timely demand.
