About employment law in Ireland
Unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, pay and contract disputes, and bullying. Most employment complaints go to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), with appeals to the Labour Court — and the usual time limit is six months.
Employment solicitors across IrelandCommon questions about employment solicitors in Carlow
How long do I have to bring a complaint to the WRC?
Usually six months from the date of the problem — for example, the date of dismissal. The Workplace Relations Commission can extend this to 12 months only if you show reasonable cause for the delay, so don't wait.
Do I need to have worked somewhere for a set time to claim unfair dismissal?
Generally 12 months' continuous service, with exceptions — for example dismissals linked to pregnancy, trade union membership or making a protected disclosure. Discrimination complaints under the Employment Equality Acts have no minimum service.
Where would a WRC hearing for someone in Carlow take place?
WRC offices are in Dublin, Carlow, Cork, Ennis and Sligo, and hearings are held in person at WRC venues or remotely — the WRC tells you where. The WRC's head office is in Carlow, on O'Brien Road. Decisions can be appealed to the Labour Court.
Are the employment solicitors listed for Carlow regulated?
To practise in Ireland a solicitor must be on the Roll of Solicitors kept by the Law Society of Ireland and hold a current practising certificate. You can search any solicitor or firm on the Law Society's Find a Solicitor register. Complaints about a solicitor's services or conduct go to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA). Lawvoo lists firms from the details they publish themselves — check the register before you instruct a firm.
