‹ Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation Tech layoffs and redundancy law
Summary
Deputy Gino Kenny expressed solidarity with tech workers facing possible layoffs and asked whether companies were aware of employment-law obligations. The Tánaiste said they were aware through their legal and HR departments.
I wish to express my solidarity with the tech workers this week with regard to the possible layoffs in the tech sector. The last week has shown that tech companies are quite ambiguous about employment laws in Ireland. There are penalties for breaching employment law in respect of notice of redundancy. Has the Tánaiste made the tech companies aware of this law and the penalties for breaching employment law around redundancies?
