The Director Employment Contract is a crucial document used when appointing executive directors to Irish companies, combining both directorship duties and employment terms in a single agreement. It is essential for ensuring compliance with the Companies Act 2014 and Irish employment law while protecting both the company's and director's interests. This contract type is typically used for executive directors who have both operational responsibilities and statutory duties as board members. It includes comprehensive provisions covering appointment terms, remuneration, benefits, duties, confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and post-termination restrictions. The document must comply with Irish corporate governance requirements, employment legislation, data protection laws, and sector-specific regulations where applicable. It serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between the company and its directors who are also employees.
