The Chairman of the Labour Court wrote to me on the 19th February 2021 confirming that the Court has adopted proposals for an employment regulation order ('ERO') in the security industry and the matter is receiving due consideration.
If the proposal is approved, it will increase minimum rates of pay from 1 June 2021 or, if approved thereafter, from the date that the Order is commenced. Under Statute, the Houses of the Oireachtas can pass a resolution to annul the ERO within the period specified, however any increases that had been applied under the ERO in advance of this annulment would remain unaffected.
The draft proposal is available to view on the Labour Court’s website.
