Employment relationship problems
If an employment problem arises at work employers and employees should firstly check the facts. They should talk to each other to try to resolve the problem, possibly involving a support person or union/association representative in the discussion. They can get information about rights and obligations from the Department.
If the problem can’t be resolved by talking, employees or employers can contact the Department of Labour, and a Mediator or Labour Inspector may be able to help sort things out. This service is free.
Problems that remain unresolved can be taken to the Employment Relations Authority or later to the Employment Court.
