This new work, written by leading practitioners in the field, provides practical and in-depth guidance on pensions and disputes in the context of UK 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. Pensions and Employment 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 UK High Court and proceedings before the UK Pension Ombudsman, the effect of business takeovers and insolvency on pensions, dismissal from employment, and protection for early retirees.
