What is on this site
One question, "notice period how much", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- Statutory notice vs contract notice in Ireland: A contract can give more notice than the law requires but never less. How the two interact, what happens when a contract is silent, and which one wins in practice.
- How much notice must an employee give in Ireland?: One week, once you have 13 weeks of continuous service, unless your contract asks for more. What happens if you give less, and whether you can leave early.
- Pay in lieu of notice in Ireland: how it works: Payment instead of working your notice, what you should be paid, how it interacts with a jobseeker's payment, and where redundancy notice differs.
