Now, tell us about some of these obligations that employers need to have vis-a-vis short term staffers.

Are these seasonal workers entitled to holidays then at the end?

Let's say they only work for six to eight weeks.

Do they also accumulate holidays?

So if they work seven weeks, they may get the final few days off?

And of course, there are three bank holidays over the Christmas period as well.

And they'd have to be paid for those days or what?

What about workers who do, let's say, six to eight weeks every Christmas with the same firm for a few years?

Do these kind of weeks and months kind of add up and accumulate and give them kind of full-time status?

And what sort of notice do employers need to give these seasonal workers if they need to fire them within the short-term contract?

So lots to know for employers out there and a lot of companies will be taking on extra staff, especially if they're in the retail sector.

Shiva, thank you so much for your expertise.

That's Shiva Rush, the head of Lewis Silken in Dublin.

Breakfast Business with Enterprise Ireland on Newstalk.

We're almost at Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but will you be buying any gifts directly from the likes of Facebook or TikTok this year?

Half of us tend to buy on impulse around Christmas, but is there any risk in doing so?

My next guest thinks it's safer to buy directly from a registered domain such as .com, but especially .ie.

David Curtin is the chief executive of .ie and is sitting in front of me.

Good morning, David.

Good morning, Joe.
