The Organisation of Working Time Act
The Organisation of Working Time Act sets out statutory rights for employees in respect of rest, maximum working time and holidays. Under this Act, employers have a responsibility to keep a record of hours of work for each employee (including starting and finishing times, meal breaks and rest periods).
The National Employment Rights Authority, NERA, would request such records when expecting a business. To find out more about the Working Hours requirements, please visit the NERA website.
They would also request other records to be made available for inspection. To find out more, please
visit the NERA website.
