Do you need to stay up-to-date with employment law developments across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland? If so, our updated Comparative Table will be a handy reference guide.

Our updated and revamped Comparative Table covers the key differences in employment law across the three jurisdictions.

The Comparative Table also includes ‘look forward’ sections covering potential and expected developments, including potential changes resulting from the UK’s Employment Rights Bill and the Department for the Economy’s consultation in Northern Ireland on its proposed ‘Good Jobs’ Employment Rights Bill.

Links to our insights and other documents are included to help you understand the developments.

The Comparative Table is prepared in conjunction with Legal Island.
