0 Comments

 
Consumer rights in Ireland are set for significant reform. The proposed Consumer Rights Bill was published earlier this year for public consulta!on by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

EMPLOYEES TO BE GIVEN LEGAL RIGHTS ON PAYMENT OF TIPS

10/12/2021

0 Comments

 
There will be new requirements on employers to clearly display their policy on how both card and cash tips, gratuities and service charges are distributed. All electronic tips must be distributed fairly and in a transparent way. This new law will, for the first time, give workers legal protections over tips. It will mean that any tips received cannot be counted towards an employee’s basic pay, they must be counted as additional and separate.

The aim of the Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill is to:
  • Provide clarity on the meaning of tips, gratuities and service charges
  • Place tips and gratuities, but not service charges, outside the scope of a person’s contractual wages
  • Oblige employers to display prominently their policy on the distribution of both cash and card tips 
  • Oblige employers to distribute fairly, equitably and in a transparent manner, tips that are received in electronic form, that is, through debit or credit cards or smart phones

An important element of the new law will be to give employees a legal entitlement to receive tips and gratuities paid in electronic form (that is, by debit or credit card) with a provision that these tips and gratuities should be paid out to workers in a fair, transparent and equitable manner. A fair and equitable distribution will be context specific and is likely to take into account matters such as staff hours, busy and quiet periods, a worker’s role in service delivery, customs and practice etc. This new law builds on the suite of legal rights that the
Government is introducing to protect workers, which includes the Sick Leave Bill, the Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions Directive and the right to request remote work.

What are the different company types available in Ireland?

When you plan to open an Irish company, it is important to choose the right company type for your enture. The following are the main company types that can be found in Ireland:
 
PRIVATE COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES (LTD)
The shares in an Irish Private Company Limited by Shares are owned by its shareholders. A shareholder’s liability is limited to the number of shares that they own. The company is a separate legal entity and, therefore, is separate and distinct from those who run it. The members’ liability, if the company is wound up, is limited to the amount unpaid on the shares they hold. The maximum number of shareholders is 149 in a LTD. An LTD can only have a single director but in this situation must appoint a separate secretary. A small/medium sized company need only file abridged audited accounts, showing a limited amount of information, at the Companies Registration Office (CRO). An Annual Return must be filed every year with the Company Registrations Office regardless of whether the company has traded or not.

0 Comments

 
A new Code of Practice on the Right to Disconnect (the "Code") has been published to provide practical guidance for employers and employees to agree working arrangements, appropriate to their business, that maintain clear boundaries between work and leisure.

The three key changes are:

​a) The right of an employee to avoid routinely performing work outside normal working hours;
b) The right to protection from penalisation for refusing to work outside of normal working hours; and
c) The duty to respect another person’s right to disconnect (e.g., by not routinely emailing or calling outside normal working hours).
