Webinar: Risks and Legal Insights Around the Use and Misuse of Fixed-Term Contracts
Date: Thursday, 21st March 2024
Time: 11.00 am – 11.40 am
Location: online via Zoom

We have dedicated the last 10 minutes of the webinar to a Q&A.

What is this webinar about?

This webinar will examine the law relating to fixed-term contracts of employment. The key piece of legislation is the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 (the “Act”) which prohibits Employers from treating fixed-term Employees less favourably than comparable permanent Employees and regulates the use of successive fixed-term contracts.

To support Organisations with compliance activity in this technical area of Irish employment law, Linea is hosting a webinar on Thursday 21st March 2024 at 11.00am that will examine the key risks and insights including:

• scope of the fixed-term contracts legislation
• contracting out of the unfair dismissals legislation
• prohibition on using successive fixed term contracts to circumvent the unfair dismissals legislation
• discrimination risks and defences to discrimination claims
• fixed-term Employee information rights
• written notification requirements around expiry
• time limits and Employee acquisition of right to contract of indefinite duration
• examples of misuse of fixed-term contracts

Join us at our upcoming webinar for answers to these key questions and more, where we share our experience of supporting Organisations.

Join 100’s of HR practitioners and keep your HR knowledge and skills up-to date.
