Terms and conditions of employment define the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees in the workplace, covering important areas such as wages, working hours, holidays, sick leave, and other benefits. In Ireland, the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994–2014 require employers to provide employees with written terms of employment within a specified timeframe after they begin work. This legal requirement ensures transparency and clarity in the employment relationship.
Similarly, in the UK, the Employment Rights Act 1996 mandates that employers must provide employees with a written statement of employment particulars within two months of starting their role. This statement must outline the essential terms of employment, including job title, pay, working hours, and other key details. Compliance with these legal requirements in both Ireland and the UK is crucial for fostering clear communication and preventing disputes between employers and employees.
