Did he ever receive any of the above?Once an employer starts to regularly pay a worker a wage or a salary, a contract of employment is deemed to exist. Although there is no requirement to furnish this employee with a written contract of employment, under the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994, an employer is required to furnish his employees with a written statement of the terms of their employment, within two months of them commencing work. This written statement must contain the following particulars:

What is redundancy?
Where you lose your job because your employer is closing the business or reducing the number of staff, this is known as redundancy.www.citizensinformation.ie
Thank you so much. When you re involved personally in the situation, it's hard to think clearly so appreciate the tips.But that doesn’t solve his big problem. His job is being shrunk. He possibly is entitled to redundancy. He should talk to an employment solicitor. He possibly was entitled to it when the outsourcing occurred under the transfer of undertaking rules.
He should sit down and write out his employment history to date, his current terms of employment, what happened, when and attach any emails supporting the information (requests for employment contract, outsourcing his role etc). Then send to a solicitor and as for a fixed price to review the information and tell him his options. He might decide to deal with matters himself then but he’d know what buttons he has to push.
If he is being paid below market average in a highly employable area - why doesn't he just look for a new higher paying job?As this was all happening, my husband made another request for a pay increase to bring him to the average pay level of a bookkeeper.
True, but not always easy when you are in your 50's and living in a small town in rural Ireland. He has been looking at job opportunities but I think he would be wrong to leave a job after 24 years service for a medicore, similar job. The right job hasn't yet come up yet for him to make that change.If he is being paid below market average in a highly employable area - why doesn't he just look for a new higher paying job?
There's nothing to stop him broaching the subject with the employer but (a) be would obviously be showing his hand by stating that he'd like to leave and (b) strictly the role/job would have to be made redundant for redundancy to apply (and with them resorting to AI or other means of doing some or all of the job then maybe that is the case here).His preference is to be offered a redundancy package but can the employee initiate this request or does it have to come from the employer?
There is no obligation on an employer to furnish the employee with a written contract of employment.and that his employer has avoided doing pretty serious obligations as regards a written contract.
Legally, you do not have to get your whole contract in writing. However, the law says you must get a ‘written statement of terms of employment’ (read more below).
He has never received a written statement of terms of employment eitherThere is no obligation on an employer to furnish the employee with a written contract of employment.
Contract of employment
The law specifies that contracts of employment must contain certain details, and your employer must give you your terms of employment in writing.www.citizensinformation.ie
Exactly. Ideally the redundancy suggestion needs to come from the employer but it seems that they may be trying to manage him out and get him to leave of his own accord. He will never build up 24 years of company service again.There's nothing to stop him broaching the subject with the employer but (a) be would obviously be showing his hand by stating that he'd like to leave and (b) strictly the role/job would have to be made redundant for redundancy to apply (and with them resorting to AI or other means of doing some or all of the job then maybe that is the case here).
I think they will do everything to push him to leave himself (refuse his pay increase request or offer him new duties that are not related to the work he has been doing).There is no way he should even hint he wants redundancy. It sounds like he is going to be made redundant anyway and that his employer has avoided doing pretty serious obligations as regards a written contract.
What is his current salary.
You can find this out yourself by requesting a record from the department in Sligo.Regardless, he should be asking for written confirmation that his employer has paid his PRSI contributions.
