From emerging regulation in the space of ESG, pay transparency
and AI, to new codes of practice and case law regarding remote
working and employment status, and significant immigration
developments, 2024 encompassed a myriad of important employment law
developments for employers.

themes for 2024 and some developments on the horizon.
ESG and Pay Equity Focus
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
("CSRD")
New Irish regulations came into force on 6 July 2024 to
implement the CSRD for in-scope Irish companies, their non-EU
incorporated parent companies, and branches of non-EU incorporated
companies that are established in Ireland. The CSRD applies on a
phased basis depending on the size and nature of the company, but
many large companies will be required to start reporting in
2025.
