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 IrelandUsually 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.
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.
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 nearest WRC office is in Cork, in the Elysian Building, Eglington Street. Decisions can be appealed to the Labour Court.
