Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill 2019

Ms Fiona Ward:

We send it out in English and then direct permit holders to the WRC website where they can get the information in all the different languages.

We also have what we call the 50:50 rule. In every workplace where there are employment permits, 50% of the workers must be from Ireland or the EEA. That means that all migrant workers and non-EEA workers have comparators within the system with which they can compare their terms and conditions. That is another check and assistance.
