Legal Ireland: Annual Review of Employment Law Conference, 24 November 2009, Dublin

Here is a conference that if you are an HR professional in Ireland is probably the one employment law conference you would want to attend.

Here is an outline of the agenda:

 

  • Review of the Year & What's to Come ~ What does the huge rise in cases to the EAT, Equality Tribunal and Labour Court tell us? Latest on Partnership Agreement, legislation case law just in and on its way. Alastair Purdy/Killian O’Reilly

  • Contracts of Employment ~ Breda O'Malley shall refresh your approach to contracts of employment, learning from case law and other legal developments to date. Breda's aim is to reflect on the terms and conditions of employment that might best suit your organisation and how those contracts may be tailored for your various grades of staff within the organisation.
