The termination of employment is a complex legal area and can be a hazardous one for employers and HR professionals to navigate. This title clearly explains the legal aspects of employment termination, dealing with the notice that must be given, the forms that need to be filled out, the various options open to claimants and the penalties for non-compliance.

The Third Edition considers key decisions including:
- Zalewski v Adjudication Officer [2021] IESEC 24
- Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform v the Commissioner of an Garda Siochana [2017] IESC 43
- Grenet v Electronic Arts Ireland Ltd [2018] IEHC 786
- Baranya v Rosderra Irish Meats Group Ltd [2020] IEHC 56

The book guides you through important developments to employment law in Ireland, such as the changes brought in by the Workplace Relations Act 2015 and the Workplace Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021.

A new chapter dealing with the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (whistleblowing legislation) is also included.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Employment Law online service.
