Description: This book is essential reading for anyone who needs clear and concise information on the practical effects of EU legislation in the workplace. The increased mobility of workers in the EU makes it more important than ever that EU employment legislation is understood, implemented effectively and businesses are compliant. All too often, people have found EU law inaccessible and unnecessarily complex, which is why Professor Leighton's approach in this book is so refreshing and will be valuable to so many people.
