Can Employers 'Force' Employees to Attend Workplace Socials? The answer is ‘no’, according to the Paris Court of Cassation (the “Court”).

With increasing job losses across the Irish economy, this article by Hayes Solicitors employment law specialists examines the legal framework for employees to successfully claim a legal entitlement to enhanced redundancy payments.

Various studies available online suggest that over 70% of job applicants have embellished and/or falsified their CVs. If discovered, this can have serious consequences both for employees and employers.

Under the Act, employees will be entitled to 70% of their daily earnings up to a maximum of €110 a day for three days, which will be payable by their employer. The allowance will increase to five days in 2024, 7 days in 2025, and 10 days in 2026. The days can be consecutive or non-consecutive days.
