Employment law and AI support FAQs
Several options exist for free employment law assistance in Ireland. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) provides free information and mediation services, Citizens Information offers guidance on workplace rights, and some solicitors provide free initial consultations. Trade unions also provide support to members. LawConnect's AI assistant offers immediate, free information about Irish employment law to help you understand your situation before deciding if you need professional legal advice.
Irish employees have numerous rights including protection from unfair dismissal (after qualifying periods), minimum wage entitlements, statutory holiday pay, minimum notice periods, protection from discrimination on nine protected grounds, and safe working conditions. The Organisation of Working Time Act provides additional protections regarding working hours and rest periods. Our AI assistant can explain how these rights apply to your specific situation.
Dismissal without warning may be lawful in cases of gross misconduct, but most dismissals require fair procedures including investigations, hearings, and appropriate notice periods. Summary dismissal is only justified in serious circumstances. Employers must follow fair procedures even when dismissing for misconduct. Our legal chat assistant can help you understand whether your dismissal followed fair procedures and whether you might have grounds for an unfair dismissal claim.
Workplace discrimination in Ireland occurs when you're treated less favourably because of one of nine protected grounds: gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, or membership of the Traveller community. This includes direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. The AI assistant can explain these concepts and help you identify whether treatment you've experienced might constitute discrimination.
The AI assistant provides general legal information to help you understand Irish employment law topics, but it cannot provide personalised legal advice specific to your individual circumstances. It explains legal principles, rights, and procedures to help you understand your position. If you require tailored legal advice, we can connect you with an experienced employment law solicitor.
