See also 'Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT)', 'Equality Tribunal', 'Jurisdiction of Employment Bodies', 'Labour Relations Commission (LRC)' and 'Labour Court' - Employment tribunals are the mechanism through which grievances relating to employment law are resolved. Issues could include unfair dismissal, redundancy payments or discrimination.
Employment Tribunals are independent judicial bodies who determine disputes between employers and employees over employment rights.
Tribunals are independent, generally open to the public and operate like a court but without some of the formality of a court environment. In Ireland, there are currently four forums under the employment litigation mechanism and these are the Labour Relations Commission, the Employment Appeals Tribunal, the Labour Court and the Equality Tribunal.
