The guide takes the form of a general description of the relevant provisions and an appendix, explaining some of the provisions in more detail.
The guide is written in general terms only. It should not be regarded as a complete and authoritative statement of the law and employers and employees should be alert to the possibility of developments in case law which may affect the rights of employees. The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas), an independent organisation originally set up under the Employment Protection Act 1975 and now constituted under the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, can give more information and advice on the legislation.
