“We've all been laid off after the scandal, with no protection against this. More than 300 at once just in Cork, with no redundancy, just one week's notice.”
Welcome to the world of a contractor.
- stevewodil 7y agoSurprised they got any notice at all, it's very uncommon for a company to give formal notice before terminating employees for fear of malicious behvaior...unless there's a law for this
- chrisdhoover 7y agoThe answer to that are severance packages
- stevewodil 7y agoNot sure about that. If the severance was good enough people would purposely try to get fired and then get a new job and continue that cycle as desired
- nmstoker 7y agoThis is in Europe so there's bound to be a law. In the UK it's 1 week minimum notice period for redundancy and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same in Ireland.
- floatingatoll 7y agoDoes their two weeks of paid leave count towards that week?
- ahje 7y agoIn the Nordic countries employees can't be forced to take their paid leave during their notice period. It's all based on EU regulations, so I would assume there are similar rules on Ireland.
