I continue to work for this company from Ireland under an employer-of-record arrangement. The company arranged and funded all flights, accommodation, meals, transport and planned activities associated with the trip. My salary continued to be paid via my employer of record for a period following the incident, but this has ceased. Would an accident occurring during a trip organised and funded by the company generally be considered to have arisen “in the course of employment”? Where an employer-of-record arrangement is in place, how is responsibility typically determined between the company directing the employee’s day-to-day work and the legal employer in Ireland?
