Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 May 2022
58. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that workers in a company (details supplied) are not receiving the correct rate of pay as set down by the Employment Regulation Order for the contract cleaning Industry. [23577/22]
View answerThe Employment Regulation Order (ERO) for the Contract Cleaning Sector came into effect in December 2020. The ERO fixes minimum rates of pay and conditions of employment for workers in the contract cleaning sector and employers in those sectors are obliged to pay wage rates and provide conditions of employment not less favourable than those prescribed.
An employer of workers to whom an ERO applies must keep records of wages, payments, etc., and must retain these records for three years.
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is an office under the remit of my Department and the WRC can provide information to persons with questions or complaints regarding their rights under employment law.
Any breaches of an Employment Regulation Order may be referred to the WRC for appropriate action.
