Publisher's summary

Are you an employer who’s worried about employment related claims from employees? Or an employee who’s not sure whether you have a reasonable chance of succeeding with a claim?

Are you confused about what constitutes gross misconduct?

Updated in December 2018

Updated in December 2018 to include Supreme Court decision on bullying and Court of Appeal decision about legal representation in the workplace.

Are you clear on how to ensure fair selection for redundancy, and what the EAT will look at if there is an unfair dismissal claim?

Do you know what questions the High Court looks at when deciding whether you have suffered a personal injury as a result of workplace stress and/or bullying? Or what the Supreme Court has said in 2017 about what constitutes bullying? Or what the Court of Appeal has decided about the right to legal representation in disciplinary proceedings in the workplace?

Are you aware of the tests the WRC apply when deciding a constructive dismissal claim?

Do you realise the significance of the difference between being an employee and an independent contractor? And how the Court will decide?

Did you know that a settlement agreement may not be as “full and final” as you thought?

Employment law in Ireland is complex.

Employment law in Ireland is a huge, complex subject. It’s made up of common law, statute, regulations, EU directives, custom and practice, etc.

It’s perfectly understandable why you could not keep on top of it all. Especially if you are running a business, or working in a busy job.

That’s why this audiobook will help.

Because it looks at actual decided cases, from 2010 to 2017, from the bodies who decide the winners and losers of employment cases.

31 Real Cases

I take a look at 31 actual cases - 17 from the EAT, 2 from the Equality Tribunal, and 3 from the High Court, I from Supreme Court and cases from the Workplace Relations Commission and Labour Court - and look at the lessons to be learned from them. I also provide a link to the original full decision of most of them.

The cases cover a wide range of topics, and involve real people in real workplace situations. Cases like:

  • The "Stale Chicken Wrap" case
  • The "Missing Jam Tarts" case
  • The case of the public transport employee who spat at a customer who was abusing her
  • The Special Needs Assistant in a Kildare primary school awarded over €250,000 in the High Court for bullying/personal injuries
  • The fast food restaurant manager who "forgot to pay for his food"
  • The security guard at a shopping centre fired for taking money from shopping centre parking pay stations
  • The right to legal representation during disciplinary proceedings in the workplace
  • The Supreme Court's 2017 decision on bullying
  • WRC and Labour Court decisions
  • And more

So, this audiobook is not a dry statement of what the law states.

No, it takes the decisions from the actual decision makers and sees what they have to say about their decisions, how they arrived at those decisions, and the lessons you can learn from them.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
