Most employees in Ireland are entitled to receive a written statement of terms and conditions of employment within two months of starting work.

Minimum Wage: Ireland has a national minimum wage that sets the lowest hourly rate that employers must pay their employees. The minimum wage is regularly reviewed and adjusted to ensure that employees are fairly compensated. It is important for employers to comply with the minimum wage rules to avoid penalties.

Specific rules apply to redundancy situations, including consultation requirements and redundancy pay entitlements based on length of service.

Trade Unions and Collective Bargaining: Employees in Ireland have the right to join trade unions and engage in collective bargaining. Trade unions negotiate on behalf of employees to improve working conditions, wages and other benefits. Employers must negotiate in good faith with recognized trade unions.

Employment and Labor Equality Bodies: The Labor Relations Commission (LRC) and the Labor Court are the key bodies responsible for resolving labor disputes, including claims of unfair dismissal, discrimination and violation of labor rights.
