Employment rights

This section outlines members’ legal entitlements under Irish employment law. These are legal minimums and, in very many cases, Fórsa has negotiated superior entitlements in local or national agreements. The information in this section is intended for guidance only and it is not a complete or authoritative statement of the law. You can get more information from the Workplace Relations Commission or Citizens Information.

The purpose of this section is to provide information to Fórsa branches and members. It is not intended as a complete or authoritative statement of the law.
