Document background
The Collective Employment Agreement serves as a fundamental document in Irish industrial relations, establishing a legally binding framework for employment terms and conditions between employers and their unionized workforce. It is typically implemented when there is organized labor representation within a company or industry and the parties wish to formalize their employment relationship through collective bargaining. The agreement must comply with Irish employment law, including the Industrial Relations Acts 1946-2015, Employment Equality Acts, and other relevant legislation. It covers essential aspects such as wages, working hours, leave entitlements, grievance procedures, and other employment conditions, while providing mechanisms for ongoing dialogue between management and employee representatives. This type of agreement is particularly valuable in maintaining industrial peace, ensuring consistency in employment terms, and establishing clear procedures for addressing workplace issues.
