Employment Disputes
What if I am unfairly dismissed or badly treated at work?
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You only have 60 days from when you realise you have been dismissed to ask your employer for written reasons for your dismissal and 90 days to raise a “personal grievance” with your employer. (ss120, 114 Employment Relations Act 2000).
You can explain what happened to the Employment Relations Service (ERS) who will give you information about the law and what courses of action are available to you (phone 0800 800 863.
Labour Inspectors employed by the ERS can investigate and follow up on complaints received in relation to minimum wages, holiday pay and equal pay but if you have been unfairly dismissed they can only provide information. This is a separate service to the 0800 information line.
You can contact your local Community Law Centre, Citizens’ Advice Bureau or see a lawyer to get advice and representation on an employment issue (look in the Yellow pages under “Lawyers”). If you have a good case, legal aid may be available, depending on your income.
Trade unions can provide advice, assistance and free representation to their members. If you wish to join a trade union but are unsure of which union would be appropriate, you can contact ERS who can provide you with details or check the Yellow Pages under “Unions”.
