Seasonal workers - What employers should know

About this upcoming session

Summer, autumn, Christmas…do your needs for your business and for employment change from season to season?

If so, you might be employing seasonal workers. And whilst this is a distinct category, your employer obligations towards these employees are no different from your obligations towards the rest of your staff.

Staying compliant when employing seasonal workers is crucial. This has been a recent focus of the Workplace Relations Commission, and being found in breach could bring negative consequences such as lost time while defending a claim, potential reputational damage, or even high costs if the claim is successful.

On the 10th of April at 11:00am, Emily Sheppard, HR Consultancy Team Lead at Peninsula Ireland will discuss topics like:

• What is a seasonal worker?

• What contract should you give to your seasonal worker?

• What rights are seasonal workers entitled to?

• Do they have access to the Unfair Dismissals Act?
