Workplace Relations Commission Complaints
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) was established on 1st October 2015 and took the place of the Employment Appeals Tribunal as the forum of first instance for employment disputes.
The WRC has a multi-faceted role in the regulation of, and compliance with workplace legislation.
If you are involved in an employment dispute, we can refer your complaint directly to the WRC. The focus of the WRC is resolve disputes at a local level with as little adversary between the parties as possible.
The WRC offers mediation, adjudication and inspection as just some methods of resolution.
At J.D. Scanlon & Co Solicitors, we have successfully advised and represented clients, both employees and employers, at many WRC hearings.

Redundancy
Whether you are an employer who needs to make someone redundant or an employee who has been made redundant, if you have concerns about any legal aspects of the redundancy procedure then please contact us at J.D. Scanlon & Co LLP.
Contracts of Employment
Contracts of employment are the basis on which the relationship between employers and their employees are built.
A contract of employment is a formal legal contract between a specific employer and a specific employee, which must be signed by both parties. Some aspects of the relationship are governed by statute law, but there are also written terms and conditions of employment which relate to an individual situation.
At J.D Scanlon & Co LLP, we can advise you on all aspects of drafting a contract of employment for employers, of reviewing terms and conditions of employment for an employee.
