Selwyn’s Law of Employment is the market leading textbook on employment law.

Now in its seventeenth edition, it has long been viewed as essential reading for students of employment law and employment law practitioners together with those studying the law in a business or professional environment.

Astra Emir has taken over from the late Norman Selwyn as author and continues his approach of providing clear and succinct analysis of all areas of employment law from both an individual and collective standpoint. The breadth of coverage of case law and statutory material is unrivalled and ensures the reader is fully up to date on all areas of this fast moving area of the law.

Employee Misconduct is an aid to human resource managers, industrial relations practitioners and other managers to understand what is, and what is not considered employee misconduct. After a brief overview of the disciplinary process, each chapter examines a different type of misconduct including: sexual harassment, abuse of social media, conflict of interest, cheating, stealing and others. The principles relating to each type of misconduct are illustrated by summaries of relevant, recent Industrial Court awards. All chapters also offer some ideas on how to minimize the incidence of employee misconduct, particularly by introducing written policies which provide clarification to employees so that they understand the types of behaviour which are not acceptable. The contents of this book are up to date and include reference to the 2019 amendments to the Industrial Relations Act.
