The law is changing fast - pitfalls and penalties await the unprepared. The legal rules that apply to recruitment are drawn from virtually all areas of employment law. Sourcing the relevant law under each heading is difficult and time-consuming. But there is a solution. This valuable new report pulls together all the relevant law relating to recruitment. Written by acknowledged experts, it provides a concise summary of everything you need to know and what to do to stay securely within the law. What this special report gives you? It provides a clear explanation of the key areas of law applying to the recruitment process, including, where appropriate, the reasons for the development of those rules and what they aim to achieve; explains the application of the rules to the recruitment processes; and deals with typical practical issues, especially those arising out of case law and recent legislation. Who this report is designed for - HR professionals - Recruitment specialists - In-house legal teams - Employment lawyers - Employment and recruitment agency staff - HRM students - Students on CPD programmes - Training professionals? It offers answers to all your questions and dilemmas.
This report addresses all the most common dilemmas and problems facing recruiters. For example: Does a contract of employment have to be in writing to be valid? Is a job description part of the contract of employment? If I offer a contract on a freelance basis, can I avoid employment law duties? If I use a recruitment agency or 'headhunter' to recruit staff and they fail to comply with anti-discrimination law am I liable for them? If I learn after offering a job that the candidate has what I consider a poor health record in her previous job, can I withdraw the offer? If I find out that a job applicant lied on their CV what can I do? Are there risks in not externally advertising posts? You will find detailed guidance to these questions and many others in this report. Important new topics are fully covered
