These inspections check to see how the employer is complying with current employment legislation in Ireland.

 

In 2016 the WRC completed 4830 inspections, of which 2877 (60%) were unannounced, and found 1981 employers in breach of employment legislation. A total of 2,398 breaches of employment legislation were recorded. By far the most common breach was failure to keep adequate employment records (62%).

More joint investigations

2016 saw an increase in the collaborative work between the WRC and other government agencies. A total of 657 joint investigation visits were carried out by inspectors from the WRC with their counterparts in the Revenue Commissioners and/or the Department of Social Protection. The WRC also works closely with the Garda National Immigration Bureau and the Garda National Protective Services Unit in terms of reporting potential immigration and human trafficking issues encountered during inspections.

Get ready for an inspection now and save a lot of pain and expense later.
