Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed).

4:00 pm

Mr. Tim Fenn:

The Workplace Relations Commission does not break down the figures in terms of serious cases. It provides overall figures in various categories. Categories may be failure to pay in accordance with the national minimum wage, compliance with sick leave regulations and so forth. We are subject to 40 or 50 separate laws and an inspector must check compliance with all of them when making an inspection. We work hard all the time to ensure we are acting within the law and that our members are compliant. At the end of the day, compliance is for the employees. If members wish to drill into the figures, perhaps they will take up the matter with the Workplace Relations Commission.
