The Employees (Provision of Information and Consultation) Act, 2006 provides for the establishment of a general framework setting out minimum requirements for the right to information and consultation of employees in undertakings with at least 50 employees. It provides a general right to information and consultation for employees from their employer on matters which directly affect them.

The legislation applies equally to companies and organisations in the private and State sectors.
