The Unlimited Employment Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Ireland to establish permanent employment relationships between employers and employees. This contract type is essential for businesses operating in Ireland that wish to hire permanent staff members, ensuring compliance with Irish employment law, including the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014, Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, and other relevant legislation. The document provides comprehensive coverage of all mandatory employment terms while allowing flexibility to accommodate specific role requirements, industry standards, and company policies. It serves as the primary reference point for the employment relationship and should be provided to the employee within two months of their start date, as required by Irish law.
