A top Irish lawyer has revealed the little known Irish employment laws that could see you be awarded thousands in compensation from the Workplace Relations Commission if your claim is successful.From redundancy to maternity leave and annual leave, many people can be misled by their employer as they are unaware of what they are entitled to under the Workplace Relations Act 2015.

Richard said he has had a lot of these cases, with the most recent being awarded the highest payout possible. He added: “They go out on maternity and they come back, and they find that they're down in a lower job or a lot of their responsibilities have been taken away, and they’ve been sidelined.” Richard said: “People having their pay rates changed without their consent. You can't do that. The employees written consent is required for any change in their terms and conditions of employment.”
