Ireland’s comprehensive suite of employment rights legislation protects all persons legally employed in Ireland on an employer-employee basis and provides robust safeguards for employees.
If workers have concerns or complaints regarding their employment rights, the mechanism for them to use is the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). The WRC is the organisation which is mandated to secure compliance with employment rights legislation. The Customer Service section of the WRC operates a telephone helpline at 1890 808090. They can provide further information in relation to employment, equality and industrial relations rights and obligations, and how to obtain redress where appropriate.
