Statutory minimum notice

Section 86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) provides for a statutory minimum period of notice that must be given to bring a contract of employment to an end, except where one of the parties is entitled to terminate without notice because of the conduct of the other party.As the right is in relation to a contract of employment only, the right to statutory minimum notice applies only in relation to employees (see Practice Note: Employee status) and apprentices (see Practice Note: Apprenticeships).The contract of employment can specify a longer period of notice but, where the contract provides for shorter notice than the statutory minimum, the contract is treated as giving the statutory entitlement.Who qualifies for statutory minimum noticeQualifying service requiredThe right to statutory minimum notice depends upon a qualifying period of one month’s continuous employment, whether it is the employer or the employee who is giving notice.For employment of less than one month, the notice to be given is that expressly stated in the contract or implied...

Ireland—Clauses—probationary period

This Precedent is a sample clause setting out details regarding a probationary period (also known as a probation period or trial period), to be included in a contract of employment. The provision for a probationary period allows the employer to assess the suitability of a newly-appointed employee for the role they have been appointed into and to terminate the employment contract on shorter notice than it would otherwise be able to do under the contract if it is apparent that the employee is unsuitable, or if the employer has changed its mind about the appointment. For an employee with less than 13 weeks continuous service there is no minimum statutory notice requirement. The notice period specified must be not less than one week if the employee has a minimum of 13 weeks continuous service, in order to satisfy the requirements of the minimum statutory notice period The prescribed particulars of employment that must be set out in a written statement include any probationary period (defined as a temporary...

All lease terms have been agreed.

Two section 42 notices have been served on a landlord by first class post to its registered address and at a PO box address. Where a landlord claims that each of the notices fails to provide them with a date falling not less than 2 months after the date of giving of the notice (due to alleged delay), can new notices be issued without adverse consequences? All lease terms have been agreed. Here, the tenant has purported to serve two notices on his landlord pursuant to section 42 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (LRHUDA 1993), which provides: ‘(3) The tenant's notice must: • (f) specify the date by which the landlord must respond to the notice by giving a counter-notice under section 45’ Section 42(3) sets out a number of particulars which must be included in the notice.

Can an employer include wording in a contract amendment letter providing that neither employer nor employee can terminate the contract before the expiry of a certain period, eg, one month, after the new contractual arrangements come into effect?

Can an employer include wording in a contract amendment letter providing that neither employer nor employee can terminate the contract before the expiry of a certain period, eg, one month, after the new contractual arrangements come into effect? Statutory requirements for stipulating when a contract will terminate Where a worker begins employment with an employer, the employer must give the worker a written statement, setting out certain prescribed particulars of employment (section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996)). This statement often takes the form of an employment contract (see, Precedent: Employment contract basic version). For further information about statutory particulars, generally, see Practice Note: Written statements of employment particulars. The particulars must include, among other things, information about the term of the contract (see Practice Note: Written statements of employment particulars, under the main section dealing with ‘What the written statement must cover’). Where the contract does not have a fixed term, then written particulars must be provided of the length of notice which the worker is...
