Legal Island and Lewis Silkin webinar: Comparative Employment Law Update

View our Comparative Employment Law Table here.

Join us on Thursday 24 March at 11am for a complimentary webinar, when Ciara Fulton and Síobhra Rush of Lewis Silkin LLP join Legal Island's Christine Quinn to take a deep dive into the Table and discuss new ways of working and family-related rights in GB, NI and Ireland including:
 
1. Ireland is tackling work-life balance and remote working head on – what does this mean for employers in Ireland? GB doesn’t need to implement EU Directives following Brexit but has already promised to match the new rights for carers in the Work-life Balance Directive. How will NI be affected considering its unique position post-Brexit? Will NI follow GB, Ireland or set its own course?

2. Flexible working rights in GB are to be extended – who, why, what and when? And what about the right to request flexible working in Ireland and NI?

3. Parental bereavement leave in NI – What does this mean for NI organisations and what will the consultation on extending the Regulations bring? What are the similarities and differences between GB, NI and Ireland on this important topic?
