The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is currently staffed by almost 170 permanent employees who are civil servants and part of the staffing establishment of the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation. They are supplemented by a further 37 Adjudication Officers who are contracted by the Minister to assist the Adjudication Service on a case-by-case basis.
The core mission of the WRC centres around the promotion and improvement of industrial and employment relations generally, and the maintenance of proper employment standards which, in turn, contributes significantly to the architecture of economic and social development and growth.
In accordance with Section 22(1) of the Workplace Relations Act 2015, the Board of the WRC has, after consultation with the Director General, prepared and submitted to the Minister for Business, Enterprise & Innovation, a Work Programme of the activities that the Commission intends to carry out in 2018.
