I trust this will be of assistance. If you require information on general employment rights, you may find the information you need on our website at

www.workplacerelations.ie.

This information may be useful to you where you are considering making a complaint for hearing by an Adjudicator. It is worth noting that further to the Supreme Court judgment Zalewski [2021] IESC 24 the WRC can no longer guarantee hearings will be in private or that decisions would be anonymised.
