What Are My Rights If I’m Unfairly Dismissed in Ireland?

If you believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed, you may have grounds for a claim under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977-2007.

Step 1: Check Eligibility: You must have been employed for at least one year to file a claim for unfair dismissal.
Step 2: Internal Grievance: Attempt to resolve the issue with your employer through an internal grievance procedure.
Step 3: File a Claim: If the issue is not resolved, file a claim with the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
Step 4: Seek Compensation: If your claim is successful, you may be entitled to compensation or reinstatement.
