After the Authority Determination

Going to the Employment Court

If you are unhappy with the Employment Relations Authority determination about your case, you can ask the Employment Court to consider your case.

When you apply to the Court, you must say whether you want the Court to hear the whole matter again or to consider only specific parts of the Authority’s determination. A full hearing of the entire matter is called a ‘de novo hearing.’

You must apply to the Employment Court within 28 days of the date of the Authority’s determination.  

Non Compliance

If one party fails to comply with the determination of the Employment Relations Authority, the other party may:

• ask for a Certificate of Determination from the Authority and file an application in the District Court for enforcement, or
• apply for a Compliance Order from the Authority.
