Read the feature report and interview with Claire Perry, Director, Legal Content and Marketing at Emplaw Online, for an insight into some of the main issues facing employment law in the UK today.

She explains the battle to demystify employment law and discusses controversial issues such as gender pay equality and the challenges presented by TUPE.
