A leading employment lawyer has warned that employing remote workers cross-border creates a potential “minefield” for employers as well as issues for staff.
The issue is distinct from the general policy around returning to office and is not confined to AIB, according to leading employment lawyer Síobhra Rush, head of Lewis Silkin’s Dublin office. She said cross-border commuting is well-established, but particular complications are thrown up by remote work or working from home.
