Document background
The Employee Accommodation Agreement is essential when employers in Ireland provide residential accommodation as part of employment arrangements. This document is commonly used in situations where housing is offered as part of a compensation package, for remote work locations, or where immediate proximity to the workplace is necessary. The agreement carefully balances employer interests with employee rights under Irish law, incorporating elements from both residential tenancy legislation and employment regulations. It addresses key aspects such as rent determination, maintenance responsibilities, occupation terms, and the interrelationship between the accommodation arrangement and the employment relationship. The document is particularly crucial for ensuring compliance with Irish housing standards, tax regulations regarding benefits-in-kind, and employment law requirements.
