Not enough time is being provided for proper consultation on the Government plan to overhaul the country’s employment rights bodies while the consultation paper issued by the Department of Enterprise & Innovations is also ‘too short’, according to Employment Lawyer, Jennifer Cashman.

Ms. Cashman, a partner in Ronan Daly Jermyn, told IRN that she believes there is a particular problem with cases currently in the pipeline – what will happen to cases brought before a certain date?  In her view, any overhaul of our employment legislation system must provide for a system of alternative disputes resolution.

Voltedge will keep our clients updated on the progress of this reform plan, and it’s potential effect on all employers.
