Description: Stewart's Guide to Employment Law is renowned for its succinct and accessible coverage of this complex area of the law. This new edition looks at the impact of COVID-19 on employment law, on matters such as standing down employees, working from home, pandemic leave, and whether vaccination can be made compulsory for employees. The text has been updated to include other new case law, including important decisions on the making of enterprise agreements, adverse action and unfair dismissal. Reference is also made to various changes to State legislation,such as the new 'wage theft' laws in Victoria and Queensland, as well as the substantial reforms proposed in Western Australia.
