Limerick Chamber, in association with Peninsula Business Services recently hosted an Employment Law Seminar in the Greenhills Hotel, Ennis Road.

The seminar focused on ensuring that local businesses are protected against the latest changes in the law specifically aimed at owners and mangers.

The informative discussion outlined the latest developments in employment legislation and allowed attendees the opportunity to evaluate their own HR practices. Just some of the topics covered were; your statutory duties, your employee’s rights, how to avoid tribunals, redundancy, the implications of NERA (National Equality Rights Authority) and how an inspection could affect your business.

Chief Executive of Limerick Chamber, Maria Kelly said “Businesses may feel confident that employees are treated fairly, however maintaining accurate records to prove this to a NERA inspector is critical. This informative event accompanied with our free employment law compliance check will help companies to stay one step ahead.”

The event was supported by Chamber HR, and is available to all chamber members throughout the Republic of Ireland.  Chamber HR offers employers 24-hour access to experts on employment and human resources legislation and provides interpretations of the law and advice on human resource management as well as representation and indemnification against employment awards.
