Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman is set to seek Cabinet approval for the outline of a new Bill on work-life balance.
The legislation – the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill – is being brought forward to give effect to an EU work-life balance directive which has to be transposed by August 2nd this year.I know what work-life balance is but what is this new legislation? Proposed legislation at this stage. It’s simply the Government sketching out how it intends to formalise European mandated rights, specifically the work-life balance directive, which must become law by early August.No, that is different legislation fuelled by the sweeping changes to work practices brought around by Covid-19.
