On Friday 20 November 2015, Maynooth University Department of Law will host a half-day conference on “Employment Status and Undeclared Work”.
The conference will explore the important, and often neglected, issue of undeclared work and examine the spectrum of undeclared work through the case studies of independent contractors and undocumented migrant workers.
The relationship between undeclared work and employment status raises important questions of access to employment protections, taxation, and access to social benefits. The conference will bring together a range of international scholars, policy makers and other stakeholders in order to address conceptual and practical aspects of the regulatory challenge posed by the phenomenon of undeclared work.
Ms Justice Mary Laffoy of the Supreme Court will chair the conference, which will feature keynote sessions involving leading experts in employment law, migration law, and regulation. A roundtable discussion led by policymakers, advocacy groups, and practitioners will focus on whether, and how, issues around employment status and undeclared work should be dealt with through regulation.
CPD Hours: 4
The conference is free of charge but places are limited, so please book your place by sending an email to law@mu.ie.
