A webinar discussing 2023 legal updates, including commercial and employment law.
10:00 - 11:00
As the Irish economy grapples with a range of challenges, including emergence from a global pandemic to war in Europe, developments in the law have been not been far behind in reflecting these significant changes.
This presentation will examine these developments in the course of 2021/2022. From remote working to new paid sick leave entitlements, keeping up with development is more important than ever. This seminar is vital to all professional practices not only in terms of the employment obligations of those practices themselves but also in terms of any relevant commercial issues that may arise for client of those practices.
In particular, negotiating the terrain of employment entitlements can be particularly difficult when dealing with the various compensation scales and ceilings that apply depending on what type of legislation or issue is involved. On top of that, many professional practices have to deal with restrictive covenants, how to identify workers as independent contractors or employees and recruitment and promotion procedures.
Included in this presentation will be an overview of dismissal law, health and safety law and contractual terms as well as a some essential highlights of other statutory protections.
This presentation will also provide an opportunity for those attending to see how the 2021/2022 developments fit into and affect the law as it currently stands as well as to discuss these trends.
