Employment law

Employment law regulates the relationship between employers and employees. It governs what employers can expect from employees, what employers can ask employees to do, and employees’ rights at work.

These employment law pages cover legislation for Ireland.

You’ll find information on the development of employment law on our timetable of recent and forthcoming changes, a list of statutory rates, as well as resources covering the legal requirements involved in recruitment, holidays, working hours, health and safety, maternity and parental rights, discrimination, discipline, grievance and dismissal procedures, whistleblowing, TUPE and redundancy.
