Document background
The Remote Job Offer Letter is a crucial document used when extending formal employment offers for remote positions under Irish law. It has gained particular significance following the shift toward remote work and the introduction of Ireland's Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2023. This document serves as the first formal step in establishing an employment relationship, incorporating essential terms required by Irish legislation while addressing the specific needs of remote working arrangements. The letter typically precedes more detailed employment contracts and should include all statutorily required information under Irish employment law, including specific provisions for remote work arrangements, equipment provisions, and working time arrangements. It's designed to protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with Irish employment legislation, data protection requirements, and health and safety regulations applicable to remote working.
