As a general rule, if an employee’s contract is terminated, the employer must have good cause.

Employees in Ireland are entitled to parental leave, which allows them to take unpaid leave to care for their children. The entitlement varies based on the age of the child and the length of service with the employer.

An employment contract is legally binding once both the employer and the employee have accepted its terms and conditions, whether it is in written or oral form. However, a written contract is recommended to avoid misunderstandings.
