Employee Relations
In today’s world, it is essential that employers have access to reliable information on employment issues and employment law. The ECA Employee Relations team is here to provide that help and advice for members companies.
The ECA Employee Relations team is at hand to give help and advice to member companies on employment law and good employment practice. Issues dealt with by the department cover many topics including: recruitment, dismissal and all the issues that arise during employment. In addition, the team provides guidance notes - including sample letters - for the most common issues facing employers. We provide this assistance, both to those who are in membership of the JIB – including representation at JIB dispute hearings – and those who are outside the JIB.
