PUBLIC SECTORNo Agreement • November 12th, 2014
Contract Type FiledNovember 12th, 2014When a language school decided not to employ a teacher following a two-week trial period, he raised a grievance alleging unjustified dismissal. The Employment Relations Authority found the arrangement was not a trial period but a fixed-term contract, says Paul Robertson. Fixed-term agreements cannot be used to establish the suitability of a potential employee.
