This document provides some key facts about the CJRS, information about how to access the scheme, and a sample furlough letter.  It is updated as more information becomes available.  Please check that you are working to the most recent version.

In line with existing public health advice and the Agency’s consequent decision to halt all face-to-face contact between staff and service users it has been necessary to rethink the practical arrangements governing delivery of a number of the Agency’s services including the Employer-Led (Non-ET) Conciliation Service.

This document provides an update on how we are managing our Collective Conciliation Service due to the coronavirus threat.

This document lists the range of seminars, briefings and workshops that we plan to deliver over the coming months to cover a range of employment relations-related topics.  Please note that additional dates may be added to the events schedule which aren't included in this document. 

This Early Conciliation notification form can be printed and filled in by hand.  Then it can be posted to our Belfast or Derry/L'Derry office - see addresses below.  Please note that due to the COVID-19 risk we have had to close our offices, so regrettably Early Conciliation forms cannot be hand delivered to us for the time being.  However, we are still taking notifications online or by phone on 03300 55 22 24, which might be more convenient for our customers given the current restrictions on movement.

One of our Conciliation Officers will then be in touch, usually within five working days.

This leaflet provides a guide to Early Conciliation.

This guide was published by the Department for the Economy.

Eligible employees of babies due to be born or placed for adoption from April 2015 will have a new statutory entitlement to shared parental leave and pay. This technical guidance is for employers who think their employee(s) may be eligible.

The Labour Relations Agency works with 19 independent arbitrators who specialise in different areas and who will chair an independent appeal panel.

This guidance is for all employers in the public, private and voluntary sectors. It has been developed by a working group co-chaired by Sir George Quigley and Nigel Hamilton and comprising representatives of Government departments, the Irish Congress of Trades Unions, the Confederation of British Industry and a representative group of ex-prisoners.
