Common HR Risks Facing Irish SMEs

HR risk mitigation means proactively finding weaknesses in your employment practices and fixing them before they become costly problems. We review your HR practices, policies, and documentation to uncover compliance gaps that could expose your business to WRC claims or penalties. We help Irish businesses stay ahead of risks including:

  • Non-compliance with the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts and Organisation of Working Time Act 1997
  • Flawed recruitment, disciplinary, or dismissal processes under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977-2015
  • Potential discrimination claims under the Employment Equality Act 1998-2015
  • GDPR gaps in employee data handling
