Employment Law Guidance & Advice
Employment Law Ireland
Employment Law and what you need to know:
Compliance with the complex and wide amount of current employment legislation and best practices in managing employees is a vital need for all employers, not only from a legal standpoint but also to ensure that your employees are engaged, working efficiently and motivated to support the achievement of your business Goals. There are currently over 30 different pieces of legislation that all employers are obliged to follow, with respect to areas such as documentation of terms and conditions of employment, dismissal procedures, Sunday payment rates, working hours, rest periods, annual leave, public holidays, as well as new requirements in respect of the right to disconnect and increased statutory leave entitlements for parents of children. Because of this, it is an area that many small business owners find challenging to deal with, but one that can be costly when non-compliance is dealt with through the WRC and Labour Court, with the WRC having the power to inspect employment records and interview employees to ensure that your business is compliant.
Employment Challenges:
As well as the different pieces of legislation that employers require to ensure full compliance, there is a vast range of typical employment law and people management challenges that can come up in any workplace such As:
- changing business needs with respect of roles, hours and rosters
- Poor job performance
- Regular short or long-term absenteeism
- Implementing short time & lay off
- Redundancies
- Disciplinary issues
- Bullying and harassment complaints
