Pensions and Employment: The Legal Framework, written by leading practitioners in the field, provides practical and in-depth guidance on pensions and disputes in the context of the employment relationship. Historically pensions law and employment law have been considered as separate and distinct areas of practice. Increasingly developments in both the statutory position and case law have led to increasing importance for the cross-over between the two fields.

This new work looks at pensions as part of the employment contract, the interrelationship between occupational pension schemes and the state pension scheme, contributions from employers and employees, tax issues, information and consultation, relevant procedures in both the High Court and proceedings before the Pension Ombudsman, the effect of business takeovers and insolvency on pensions, dismissal from employment and protection for early leavers.

Expertly drafted precedents covering actions in the High Court, complaints to the Pensions Ombudsman and cases before the Employment Tribunal are included.
