Employment laws in Ireland are designed to protect the rights of workers. Employers are required to provide fair pay, a safe and healthy workplace, and freedom from discrimination.
These laws are not a uniform body of law, but rather a diverse range of laws, codes, and regulations that aim to safeguard the rights of employees. They cover various aspects of employee rights such as workplace safety— under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, wages—under the National Minimum Wage Act 2000, holidays—under the National Minimum Wage Act 2000, discrimination—under the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, dismissal—under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977-2015, and more.
Navigating these laws can be complex due to regular updates in legislation and modernisation in businesses. That’s why we employ the industry’s top experts to ensure compliance with all relevant employment laws and regulations for all our customers.
