Employment Law Compliance 2008 by Anne
O'Callaghan
Employers in Ireland are increasingly faced with issues
in respect of workers who are disabled within the meaning
of our employment equality law, perhaps unknown to the
employer and possibly even to the worker. A lack of
awareness of the breadth of our definition of disability
for employment equality law purposes, the protection
that the law gives to workers and the obligations imposed
upon employers creates significant legal liability.
This can result in substantial awards of damages and
orders that require employers to introduce new policies
and practices and even to appoint unsuccessful candidates
to positions, with retrospective effect. This Paper
discusses these issues.
