June 2019 Newsletter

Case Law reviewed under the WRC

In this month’s newsletter the team at Adare Human Resource Management consider in detail a number of cases as adjudicated under the Workplace Relations Commission

Contractors V Employees – What is the Difference?

It is important that Organisations are cognisant of the differences between Contractors / Self – Employed person and Employees, and how these arrangements may be interpreted by a third party, namely the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), the Labour Court and Revenue. There are a number of considerations that should be taken into account to ensure that the Contractor / Self – Employed person is not in fact an Employee, does not abide by the actions of the Organisation or that the individual unknowingly strays into that employment relationship.

Fixed Term/ Purpose Contracts of Employment

A fixed term / purpose contract is a contract which is put in place for a temporary period and has a definite duration or purpose. A fixed term contract is for a (fixed) duration / term of work required e.g. an Employee being hired during a busy seasonable time (i.e. Christmas). A fixed purpose contract expires when the specified (fixed) purpose of the role is fulfilled e.g. completion of a project or an Employee returning from long-term sick leave.
