Global Legal Insights: Employment & Labour Law: 2019

The objective in compiling this book is to provide general counsel, human resource practitioners, lawyers, advisers and managers with an overview of developments in employment and labour law across a variety of jurisdictions across the world. The authors were asked to provide their personal perspectives on those current and forthcoming changes to the labour and employment law regime in their respective jurisdictions which they considered to be particularly important in practice.
