Document background
The Director Employment Agreement is a crucial document used when appointing executive directors to Irish companies, establishing a dual relationship as both an employee and a corporate officer. This agreement is essential for ensuring clarity in roles, responsibilities, and expectations while maintaining compliance with Irish corporate and employment law requirements. It addresses specific needs of director-level appointments, including fiduciary duties under the Companies Act 2014, corporate governance requirements, and standard employment protections. The document is particularly important for regulated industries and listed companies, where additional compliance obligations may apply. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering remuneration, benefits, performance expectations, and post-termination restrictions, while ensuring alignment with Irish regulatory requirements and market practice.
