Me: Irish. Client: Dutch. What law does the work-contract fall under?

Harambin

I'm doing remote work for a Dutchie as an overseas contractor.

Irish law doesn't allow zero-hours contracts.

Dutch law kinda does (though with some protections for the worker).

So whose law applies here?

There are exceptional though, where there's a genuine case.

Are contractors protected from zero hours? I thought they were considered self employed?

I can't link URLs because my account is new but look up zero-hours contracts on citizensinformation dot ie

Basically they have to guarantee a minimum of 15 hours

Anyway, Dutch law or Irish?

The intro on that site starts with "A zero-hours contract of employment applies where you (the employee) are available for work but your hours of work are not specified under your employment contract."

If you are a contractorand not an employee, it doesn't apply.

Are you an employee or self employed?

It is not written anywhere. It depends on where the contract was made.
