The National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) is responsible for monitoring a range of employment rights through its Inspection Service.  An employer’s records may be inspected  as a result of complaints received of alleged breaches of employment rights, as a result of targeted inspection campaigns and as a result of routine inspection enquiries.

NERA has published a Guide to Inspections, listing the different records that an inspector will require to see during the course of an inspection.  These records include:

• Employer Registration Number with the Revenue Commissioners.
• list of all employees including: full name, address and PPS Number for each employee (full-time and part-time).
• terms of employment for each employee.
• payroll details (gross to net, rate per hour, overtime, deductions, shift and other premiums and allowances, commissions and bonuses, service charges, etc.).
• evidence that the employer has provided payslips to staff.
• employees’ job classification.
• dates of commencement and where relevant, termination of employment.
• hours of work for each employee (including starting and finishing times).
• register of employees under 18 years of age.
• whether board and/or lodgings are provided and relevant details.
• holidays and Public Holiday entitlements received by each employee.
• any documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance with employment rights legislation.
