The Temporary Layoff Letter is a crucial document used in Irish business operations when companies need to temporarily reduce their workforce due to business circumstances, without terminating the employment relationship. This document is typically used during economic downturns, seasonal fluctuations, or other temporary business challenges that require a reduction in staff costs. The letter must comply with Irish employment law, including the Redundancy Payments Acts and Protection of Employment Acts, and should clearly communicate the temporary nature of the layoff, expected duration, impact on pay and benefits, and employee rights. It serves as both a legal document and a communication tool, helping to maintain transparency and protect both employer and employee interests during the layoff period.
