This website (and, for many of you, the email newsletter) had a rather long break in the last part of 2009. Well, Usefully Employed is now back and fighting fit.
As well as resuming news and commentary on the latest employment law developments, anything missed during the down time will be gradually added in. These will [...]
For those of you who haven’t cast their net too wide into the online world of law resources, be aware of the regular Blawg Reviews, in which guest editors present a round-up of all that’s new on law blogs around the globe. In these days when Lexis and Westlaw push their bills ever higher, everyone [...]
