Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Section 13 provides that a provision in any employment agreement shall be void in so far as it is inconsistent with any provision of this Bill. Section 14 provides that an employer shall not penalise an employee for invoking his or her right to be treated in regard to his or her employment in the manner provided for in this Part of the Bill. Penalisation of an employee is also forbidden for having lawfully opposed an act which is unlawful under the Bill or giving evidence in any proceedings under the Bill. Penalisation for this purpose includes dismissal, unfavourable change in conditions of employment or any unfair treatment, including selection for redundancy.
