The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is the State body charged with the provision of information to both employers and employees on certain employment law statutes of the State as well as equality and industrial relations matters. The WRC does this through a variety of means such as the WRC website, (www.workplacerelations.ie), informational booklets, leaflets and other literature, and through the provision of information by means of a telephone call-in service manned by experienced Information officers. This service, (available on 1890 80 80 90), operates 5 days a week from 09.30 – 13.00 and 14.00 – 17.00. In more recent years, the WRC is also engaging in the provision of information to both employers and employees through social media.
In relation to the specific query, I am informed that the WRC website content is currently under review and that material provided, and the associated publications, are being examined and updated at this time. In relation to unfair dismissal information specifically, I am further informed that this information will be reviewed and that the associated guide will also be updated and uploaded to the WRC website shortly.
