Important Posts You May Not Have Seen...

Peninsula Team

February 13 2013

p-logo.jpgSince we set up The Peninsula Ireland Blog in April 2012 we have posted 177 times on all manner of HR and Employment law topics, ranging from Landmark Cases to How to Guides, to the smaller Bite Size HR posts which highlight some topical items in the media at that time. However we are also aware that some readers may not have seen some of our earlier posts, and could find this information extremely useful and relevant.

For this reason we have decided to take a look back at some of our earlier blog posts from our first three months, and highlight some of the important posts you may have missed, or indeed wish to review again.

May 2012

In May 2012 we looked at the issue of Trade Union Representation and the relevant case-law stemming from this in the EAT. This posting looked at the disciplinary procedure itself and whether or not a Trade Union rep should be allowed to attend and also an analysis of the situation as a whole for employers. 

We also looked at the issue of Employee Retirement in the workplace and the factors for an employer to consider if looking to compulsorily retire an employee.

In a busy month for the Blog we also looked at Employment Injunctions and how this area has become more and more prominent in Employment Law in recent years. We discussed the types of injunctions as well as what to look out for if applying for injunctive relief.

In one of our most popular blog posts we also looked at Suspension, and the factors to consider when suspending an employee, and the process by which you would suspend an employee.

 June 2012

In June we looked at the issue of Some Other Substantial Grounds, commonly known as SOSG (or in some cases SOSR - Some Other Substantial Reason), and what is meant by Third Party Pressure.

Our Landmark Cases feature also produced a number of postings in June with cases on Covert Surveillance, Suspension, and Settlement Agreements.

July 2012

In July we looked at some of the major issues affecting employers such as Employee Resignations, including what to look out for and be cautious of.

We also looked at Employee References and how these can potentially become a legal minefield for employers.

Our two-part series on Redundancy (part one & part two) was posted in July and is essential for any employer wishing to explore the possibility of redundancies.

These are just a few of the many previous postings which people may find interesting to read for the first time, or perhaps even to re-read to brush up on any aspect of Employment Law and HR.

As always do feel free to contact us here at the blog if there are any queries or questions. Our email is blog@peninsula-ie.com
