STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS

These are some of your basic rights guaranteed by law

Contract of Employment: When you accept a job in return for wages, a Contract of Employment is formed. For jobs lasting more than one month, the employer must make certain information available to you in writing – their full name and business address, the job title/nature of work, the date employment started, rates of pay, hours of work (including overtime), holiday periods, details of meal breaks and rest periods allowed. A contract cannot take away any legal rights you have under the law, e.g. the right to join a union, the right to maternity leave.

Wages: From 1st May 2005, the legal minimum wage for an adult worker is €7.65 per hour. An employer can only pay less than this where a person is under 18 years of age or is engaged in apprenticeship or necessary training which is funded by the employer (minimum wage from €5.36 p/h). The legal minimum wage is the lowest wage you can be paid but by organising in a trade union you can press for wages well above the legal minimum wage and improve your conditions generally.

Hours and overtime: By law, every worker must be paid for work done over and above his or her contracted hours. The contract must state what rates are payable for additional hours. The usual rates are time + ¼ for the first 3 hours, time + ½ for the next 5 hours and double time for anything after that. You cannot be required to work more than an average of 48 hours per week.

Pay Slip: You are entitled to a pay slip at the end of each pay period, whether weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The employer must tell you how and when you will be paid and whether by cash, cheque or credit to your bank account. Your pay slip should include precise and correct information on your rate of pay and any tax and Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) deductions. To be legal, any deductions other than tax and PRSI must be agreed with your employer beforehand.

Holidays: Calculations can be complex for short-term jobs, but generally full-time workers are entitled to 4 weeks paid leave per year plus the 9 bank holidays (unless receiving substitute leave days or pay for working these days); part-time workers are entitled to 8% of their working time.

Sick Pay: Whilst your employer has no legal obligation to offer sick pay for any time off ill, the Contract of Employment must clearly state procedures regarding sick leave and any payments due.

Maternity Leave: A worker cannot legally be dismissed for becoming pregnant and is entitled to paid time off for medical checks before and after giving birth (two weeks notice must be given to the employer of appointments). There is a minimum entitlement of 14 weeks maternity leave.

ORGANISE FOR YOUR RIGHTS

From fast food outlets, to assembly lines, from corner shops to hyper markets there is one common relationship. That is the relationship between boss and worker. These two classes have nothing in common, and a constant struggle is fought between them. Over the years we have won free education, free healthcare, the welfare state, the 5 day week, the 8 hour day and the other rights. It's time we organized to defend these rights and to win more.

Clashing with GAMA quiz.

author by Joepublication date Mon May 23, 2005 17:52author address author phone Report this post to the editors

The clash is unfortunate to say the least but it should be quite possible to do the leafletting and get to the quiz for 8.30. With the meeting I guess it will depend on what most people want to do on the night. Both also clash with the SWP G8 meeting to make things worse.
