🌍💼 Understanding Remote Working Rights in Ireland: A Guide for Employers 💼🌍 As remote work continues to shape the modern workplace, it's essential for employers in Ireland to familiarize themselves with the rights and responsibilities that come with it. Here are key points to consider: 1️⃣ Legal Framework: Familiarise yourself with the relevant employment laws, including the right to request remote work, health and safety obligations, and data protection requirements. 2️⃣ Clear Policies: Develop transparent remote working policies that outline expectations, communication protocols, and performance metrics. This ensures consistency and fairness for all employees. 3️⃣ Employee Well-being: Support your team’s mental and physical health with resources and regular check-ins. A happy workforce is a productive workforce! 4️⃣ Training & Development: Invest in training programs that equip your employees with the skills needed to thrive in a remote environment. 5️⃣ Open Communication: Foster a culture of open dialogue where employees feel comfortable discussing their remote work experiences and challenges.

It seems here that the model of 40-60 per cent in-office attendance is the norm for many organisations at the moment and will likely continue, with many employers requiring staff back to the office more regularly. As cases have started to move through the WRC on the issue of remote work requests, it is evident that the courts realise their limitations, in that they cannot weigh in on whether or not an employers decision to refuse remote work requests is right or wrong, but only on whether the Employer has followed a fair process in considering the request. There is a clear contrast between employers wanting to see more staff in the workplace for collaborative and cultural reasons and employees needing and wanting flexibility to suit their lifestyle and to achieve a worklife balance but it certainly looks like the balance is shifting somewhat towards a return to the workplace.
