Employment Issues

Employment disputes can arise from unfair dismissal, harassment, discrimination, breach of contract and other workplace issues. The Irish Claims Service does not provide employment-law advice or representation.

We publish general information about common employment issues and legal frameworks. At your request, we may introduce you to an independent solicitor or other appropriately regulated professional practising in employment law. That professional will independently decide whether they can assist.

Common Employment Issues

If you are experiencing workplace difficulties, general information about potential legal remedies and procedural steps is available. However, only a qualified legal professional who understands your specific circumstances can advise whether action is appropriate or viable.

Next Steps

If you believe you may have an employment-related issue:

• Document the relevant events and dates
• Keep records of communications
• Consider contacting a regulated professional for independent advice
• Be aware that some claims have strict time limits

The Irish Claims Service can introduce you to professionals who specialise in employment law if you wish to seek independent legal advice.

Financial Costs

We do not charge for introductions. However, legal costs, outlays and any potential liability for another party's costs depend on the circumstances and must be discussed directly with the professional before instructions are accepted.
