Irish employment law training

Who should attend
This Irish employment law training course is relevant to international HR managers and directors in the UK who have responsibility for employees in Ireland. It will also be useful to managers and directors who anticipate entering the Irish market and who need to be aware of their responsibilities to their people.
Synopsis
The Irish and UK legal systems have many similarities. However, in an employment context those similarities can be deceptive.
Irish employment law is highly regulated with over 20 relevant EU Directives, 30 domestic Statutes and more than 70 Statutory Instruments. In addition, there is the Constitution which adds an additional layer of complexity, particularly with regard to trade union recognition and natural justice requirements. Any employer embroiled in employment litigation in Ireland will find the process costly and time consuming. This very popular course will give you an understanding of some of the challenges in managing employees in Ireland.
Programme
Please note that the course programme will run over two afternoons (2 x 3 hour sessions). Day 1 will take place on a Tuesday afternoon and Day 2 will take place on a Thursday afternoon.
