Employer support on break entitlements at work
Ensure your employees are receiving their required breaks at work by talking to the experts about all things breaktimes.
Your obligations regarding breaks at work in Ireland…
Under the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997, you have an obligation as an employer to provide your employees with the appropriate rest periods each day and week. The Act sets out the statutory rights for employees in respect of rest, maximum working time, and holidays.
But why is this Act so important? Well, if you don’t give your staff their entitled breaks, you could find yourself before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) facing an employee claim…

This is a fantastic service. The advisor I spoke to was extremely helpful and listened carefully to everything I wished to discuss - offering guidance and addressing my concerns. He also called to follow up with me twice to ensure I did not require any additional help. Could not be happier with the service I was given.
We were very pleased with the prompt support over the phone and a representative was booked to come to our office the next day. Excellent and efficient service.
Very easy to make contact, explained in plain English and followed up to see if any more help was needed. Great job thank you
