Ireland's laws to protect employees in the workplace 2023

Updated: Dec 6, 2023

I sent a request to the WRC to forward me a list of laws in Ireland to protect employees in the workplace including all laws pertaining to psychological harassment and violence. Please find the following response.


Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for contacting the Workplace Relations Commission.

Please find the following information in relation to your query.


(See attached file: code-of-practice-for-employers-and-employees-on-the-prevention-and-resolution-of-bullying-at-work.pdf)(See attached file: issues-at-work.pdf)


NK$$$$$XML (irishstatutebook.ie)EMPLOYMENT EQUALITY ACT 1998 (CODE OF PRACTICE) (HARASSMENT) ORDER 2012


(See attached file: pdf.pdf)(See attached file: Codes-of-Practice-Sexual-Harassment-FA_Digital.pdf)


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

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.
