In this episode of KC Connect, Ibec experts Aisling McDevitt and Kevin Feighery discuss the transposition of the EU Directive on Transparent and Predictable Working conditions into Irish law as it relates to probationary periods, and the role of fair procedures in the context of the Industrial Relations Acts. 

The discussion will include the current position on the following legislation: 

• The commencement of S.I. No. 686/2022 - European Union (Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions) Regulations 2022, which creates a maximum legal duration on probationary periods. 

 We also discuss the importance of fair procedures in probationary dismissals in the context of the Industrial Relations Acts, highlighting two key Labour Court recommendations in this regard.
