About Ireland - Employment
Lexis+® Ireland covers the full cycle of the employment relationship, from starting employment and managing workplace rights to handling grievances and termination. Resources include templates for flexible and remote working requests, practice notes on parental leave and other protected rights, and insights into the Workplace Relations Commission.
Starting employment
We offer a suite of precedents including an employee offer letter, employment contract and a comprehensive set of ready-made policy documents (including policies on parental leave, generative AI, hybrid working, harassment and bullying and social media).
Protected rights in employment
We provide practice notes giving guidance on protected rights in employment such as parental leave, flexible working and precedent employer letter’s responding to requests.
Workplace Relations Commission
Guidance on the functions of the Workplace Relations Commission and on key procedural issues and practical considerations involved in the complaints process.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
Our practice notes explore equality law and protection against discrimination in Ireland and topical issues such as the gender pay gap.
