• Developed to suit the particular needs of every organisation and to accommodate the grievance/disciplinary/dispute arrangements in place
• Designed to meet the needs of frontline managers whose role demands excellent people management skills and a good understanding of workplace conflict prevention and dispute resolution mechanisms
• Designed to meet the needs of employees and employee representatives whose role demands a good understanding of workplace conflict prevention and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Where do I get information about employment rights and employment law?
Booklets explaining industrial relations and employment rights laws are available free of charge from the Employment Rights Section of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise, and Innovation, whose website address is www.djei.ie

In addition to the information available in the booklets provided, an individual may get information and advice on his/her employment rights from a number of sources. These include a trade union, legal representation, voluntary groups providing these services, and the Information Service of the National Employment Rights Authority, which can be reached online at www.employmentrights.ie.
Employers too may obtain information from these sources and from employer representative bodies.
Please note that secretariat of the Service does not provide information on employment rights.
