In this episode Bryan Dunne, Head of the Employment Practice at Matheson talks with Geraldine Carr, a senior associate in the Employment Practice about her six-month secondment in the Matheson Californian offices. Geraldine discusses some of the key trends in US workplaces which will find their way into Irish workplaces very soon and some of the main issues that US employers struggle with when it comes to dealing with Irish employment law. Bryan also considers a case previously reviewed in Spring 2017 on the question of when notice of termination of employment takes effect, whether it is when issued, when received or when read. This question has now recently been decided by the UK Supreme Court, hopefully once and for all.
