Employment and your workplace

Understand a contract before you sign it, or organise the facts behind a workplace problem.

DlíWise helps you understand your situation, get your facts and documents in order, and take the next practical step — in Ireland, with the source and date shown.

What DlíWise does here

  • Explain the terms in an employment contract and flag what is unusual or missing
  • Help you build a clear, dated record of what happened
  • Point you to the official process and the body that runs it
  • Draft a professional grievance, appeal or information request for your review

What it will not do

  • Tell you whether your employer has broken the law before the facts are established
  • Act for you at the WRC or in any hearing
  • Advise you on settlement terms - that needs a solicitor
Guides for this topic are being written and reviewed. We publish a guide only when a named Irish legal professional has reviewed it and it carries its sources and effective date. Nothing on this page tells you what the law says.
