Comment on this
Minister Higgins approved the new ERO for the Security Industry on 13 June 2024 and it commenced on 1 July 2024. It is currently available to the public on the Department’s website: SI No 319 of 2024 Employment Regulation Order (Security Industry Joint Labour Committee) 2024 - DETE (enterprise.gov.ie)
No further legislative changes to the rates of pay and work conditions for security officers in the security industry are under consideration.
Under legislation, the JLC may submit proposals to revoke or amend the ERO to the Labour Court once the Order has been in force for at least six months.
