Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2011

Public bill · Government · Presented

Reforms sector-wide pay-setting arrangements so that minimum wages and working conditions better reflect employment levels, business costs, competitiveness and comparable wages. It gives the Minister and the Oireachtas greater oversight, allows struggling employers to seek temporary pay exemptions, and enables agreements to be updated or cancelled more easily. Workers would get clearer written information and stronger ways to recover underpayments, while employers could face simpler rules and enforcement procedures.
