    Hi,I have been working from home one day a week for the last 10 years. Both my employer and I have been happy with this arrangement.Recently, my employer moved the location of their offices and I now have over 4 hours commute time each day. I generally only see my young children before they go to bed on the one day that I work from home. As a result of this, I asked my employer about increasing the number of days that I work from home to 2 or 3. They have refused and have instead insisted that I only work from home 2 days a month.I would like to know if there is something in employment law in Ireland that could stop them reducing my teleworking days on the basis that it has been the accepted custom and practice between us for the last 10 years and therefore implicitly part of my employment contract.Thanks,Louph

    Hi, anyone know if a sales rep who signed a contract to include not working for competition for 6 months would stand up in court ?
    Thanks.

    Competitor would be interpreted very narrowly. Difficulties could arise if you contact your current clients for your new employer. Even there in general no issue will arise.

    In general such contracts are in restraint of trade and the clause is void.

    Hi,

    My wife has been working with her employer since 2006. Her contract says she is normally required to work 9-5, but has always worked 8-4 with the consent of her manager.

    She is now being put under pressure to revert back to a 9-5 workday.

    Can someone please advise.

    Thanks

    NOT legal advise but from my experience we were always told if someone had been working a pattern for 13 weeks that we had to ask them to change back - we couldn't insist.

    Check with NERA.
