Joint Labour Committees (JLCs) are independent in their functions. If a JLC adopts proposals for an Employment Regulation Order (ERO) for a sector, it will submit them to the Labour Court for consideration. The Labour Court will then make a decision on the adoption of the proposals. If the Court decides to adopt the proposals, a copy is presented to me and, if I consider it appropriate to do so, I will make an ERO giving effect to the proposals.
The most recent ERO, which was for the Security Sector, came into force on 4th September 2023. I have not to date received a proposal from the Labour Court in relation to any other ERO.
