Detailed Information
LAW30330 - Employment Law: Employment Rights (Audit) - 2017
The theme of this module is the set of statutory rules constraining the employer's prerogative in the employment relationship. The module focuses on the extent to which the legislature, often in the context of Ireland's EU obligations, has prescribed employee rights in respect of discrimination on grounds such as gender, age, and disability; maternity, adoptive, parental and paternity leave; part-time, fixed-term and agency supplied labour; organisation of working time; and workplace privacy. The module will also consider the effect of the Workplace Relations Act 2015 on the dispute adjudication process.
