Adjudication Officers (Contractor)
A competition is being held to establish a panel of suitably qualified individuals, on a contract for service basis, to act as Adjudication Officers (Contractor) for the Adjudication Service of the WRC, as established under the Workplace Relations Act 2015 (as amended). This Act sets out both the general functions of the Adjudication Officer and its specific function in relation to the provisions of the Act. Following a competitive selection process, managed by publicjobs, the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, will appoint such number of members from the panel recommended by publicjobs, having due regard to: • The estimated need for such Adjudication Officers; • The geographic distribution and location of cases that arise; • The distribution of preferred areas, as nominated by applicants (including the extent of any stated commitment to travel); • An appropriate mix of qualifications, skills and experience in Employment and Equality Law, Human Resources, and Industrial Relations. • The provision of adjudication services through the medium of Irish. A panel may be formed from this competition for future vacancies as they arise. The panel will be in place for a period of two years. There will be no entitlement to be appointed before the expiry of the panel. Role and Responsibilities Adjudication Officers of the WRC are statutorily independent in their decision-making duties as they relate to adjudicating on complaints referred to them by the Director General of the WRC. The role of the Adjudication Officers (Contractor) will be to hear employment rights, equality, equal status and industrial relations cases in the first instance. They will examine evidence and submissions presented by both parties and may also hear evidence from relevant witnesses. The Adjudication Officer (Contractor) will then decide in relation to each complaint submitted for adjudication and will issue reasoned decisions. Cases will mainly be heard in public and the decisions of the Adjudication Officers (Contractor) will be published to a single decisions database hosted on the WRC website. Adjudication Officer decisions are mainly appealable to the Labour Court, or to the Circuit Court in equal status cases. Successful applicants will have no entitlement to sit on any particular type of case or number of cases. However, where cases are available, Adjudication Officers (Contractor) may generally sit for a maximum of three days per week. This is subject to Adjudication Officer (Contractor) availability and case volume. Key Duties and Responsibilities • Carrying out timely, efficient and effective adjudication of complaints referred to them by the Director General of the WRC; • Managing allocated caseloads effectively and in accordance with stipulated timeframes; • Considering evidence, researching relevant case law and maintaining a strong knowledge of applicable legislation to support effective hearings and decisions; • Issuing clear, well-reasoned and legally sound decisions and in line with WRC policy and procedures and legislation; • Travelling to regional locations, as required, to conduct hearings; • Providing administrative and case management support, as required from time to time. Please note: The above is a general guide to the key duties and responsibilities of the role and is not an exhaustive description. Other duties and responsibilities appropriate to the role may be required from time to time. Location of Hearings The WRC delivers adjudication services across a number of regional locations throughout the country. Hearings are organised on a regional basis and may take place in WRC offices or, where appropriate, in other venues such as courthouses. The venues currently used for adjudication services may be subject to change as part of an ongoing strategic review. This review takes account of a range of operational factors, including case volumes in particular areas, the location of Adjudication Officers (Contractor), venue availability and associated costs. The WRC primarily uses its own offices for the delivery of in-person hearings; however, additional venues may also be used within regions to meet service demand. While the majority of hearings are scheduled to be delivered in person, the WRC also schedules remote/hybrid hearings where such arrangements are appropriate, having regard to operational and case-specific factors. Regional Hearing Locations Hearings are organised on a regional basis and may be scheduled within the regions outlined below. It is important to note that not all counties listed within a region will have dedicated hearing facilities and hearings may take place at selected locations within each region, depending on operational requirements. • South-West Cork, Kerry • West Limerick, Galway, Clare, Mayo • South-East Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Tipperary • East Dublin, Meath, Louth, Kildare, Wicklow • North-West Donegal, Sligo, Monaghan, Cavan, Leitrim, Roscommon • Midlands Westmeath, Longford, Laois, Offaly Candidates should be aware that flexibility is required and hearings may be allocated to any suitable location within a region, including WRC offices or other appropriate venues. Applicants for inclusion on the external panel of Adjudication Officers (Contractor) will be requested to select regions in respect of which they agree to hear cases. The WRC will endeavour to allocate cases to the Adjudication Officers (Contractor) based on their expressed preference for geographical location. However, should the need arise, the WRC reserves the right to require the Adjudication Officer (Contractor) to hear a case in a different location, where necessary. The WRC will act reasonably in relation to the allocation and distribution of cases should such a requirement arise. Please Note: The fees referenced below at Principal Conditions for Service are fully inclusive of travel and subsistence expenses. Every effort is made by the Adjudication Scheduling Team to arrange hearings for Adjudication Officers (Contractor) within the region in which they are based. While this may not always be possible, it represents standard practice in most cases. Provision of Services in Irish The Official Languages Act 2003 as amended places obligations on the WRC and other public bodies in relation to the provision of services through Irish. Applicants will be requested to indicate if they can provide adjudication services through the medium of Irish.
