FAQ
NO – As long as the person is trained for the tasks they need to do and are capable of understanding the task. We can arrange for the person to get a doctor’s cert. The Irish Insurance Federation confirmed that an employer’s liability insurance does not increase when the employer takes on an employee with a disability.
Yes, except in the following circumstances. There are some exceptions to those entitled to receive the national minimum wage. The legislation does not apply to a person employed by a close relative (for example, a spouse or parent) nor does it apply to those in statutory apprenticeships. Also some employees such as young people under 18 and trainees are only guaranteed a reduced or sub-minimum rate of the national minimum wage.
Our Service is provided on a one to one basis, and our process always starts by getting to know the jobseeker and assessing their skills, knowledge, motivation, experience and transferable skills before we start looking for work. We will not forward someone for a position unless we feel they are suited for the role. The selection process may then involve an unpaid “job trial” or “working interview,” for the preferred candidate which may run for up to 7 weeks and for which we would provide a training allowance for our client.
