The Workplace Relations Commission is a statutory body that oversees compliance with Irish employment law and deals with claims brought against employers by current or former employees.

The WRC is an independent statutory body that doesn't favour either employers or employees. Its aim is to resolve disputes between the parties but they make their decision based on the evidence presented by both sides.

If the WRC finds in favour of the employee, it may order your business to pay financial compensation or reinstate the employee to their former job.
