What is the WRC
The implementation of the Workplace Relations Act in 2015 established a two-tier workplace relations structure (The Workplace Relations Commission)
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has responsibility for:
- promoting the improvement of workplace relations, and maintenance of good workplace relations,
- promoting and encouraging compliance with relevant enactments,
- providing guidance in relation to compliance with codes of practice approved under Section 20 of the Workplace Relations Act 2015,
- conducting reviews of, and monitor developments as respects, workplace relations,
- conducting or commissioning research into matters pertaining to workplace relations,
- providing advice, information and the findings of research conducted by the Commission to joint labour committees and joint industrial councils,
- advising and apprising the Minister in relation to the application of, and compliance with, relevant enactments, and
- providing information to members of the public in relation to employment.
The Commission’s core services include the inspection of employment rights compliance, the provision of information, the processing of employment agency and protection of young persons (employment) licences and the provision of mediation, conciliation, facilitation and advisory services.
ORC guides employers through the potential minefield of workplace compliance ensuring employers are fully up to date with the ever changing landscape of employment law and employee rights.
We represent employers through investigations (both grievance and disciplinary), mediations, negotiations and adjudications.
