EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT DISPUTE

What is an Employment Agreement Dispute?

Sometimes you will disagree with your employer about your employment agreement, how it works, what it means and how it applies. This is called a dispute.





EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS AUTHORITY

The Employment Relations Authority and the Employment Court were set up to help settle disputes between employers and employees and if need be to impose fines or award damages.


Remember that if you lose your case you will probably be required to pay back all benefit money up to the 13 week stand-down time.

If you are not a union member, get advice from one of the organisations listed at the end of this information sheet; your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Community Law Centre. You will find them listed in your local telephone directory.

What if my employer owes me money?

Your employer should keep a record of the wages paid to you, and you are entitled to see this or get a copy of it if you ask for it.

If your employer owes you money for unpaid or underpaid wages, unpaid holiday pay, you can apply to the Employment Relations Authority for an order to make them pay you what you are owed.
