What is a JLC?
While there is a legal minimum wage in Ireland, there are also other pay agreements in place which cover certain types of workers. These agreements on pay and conditions are made by Joint Labour Committees (JLC's) and are known as Employment Regulation Orders (ERO's).
It is the JLC that agrees the working conditions and rates of pay for workers in the JLC sector of employment for example RGAT (Retail, Grocery and Allied Trade). An Employment Regulation Order made by the Labour Court makes such a JLC legally binding and is actively enforced by NERA (National Employment Rights Authority).
Updating to MicroPay Professional V2011
Updating to the latest version of MicroPay will bring you the following key benefits:
- Compliance with NERA
- Reduction in time spent processing JLC rates of pay
- Potential cost savings in cases where you have been paying employees over the recommended JLC pay rate.
My advice is to become compliant sooner rather than later. Avoid the headache of inspection audits and get your payroll system in order - it will save you a lot of hassle that you could probably do without.
The CSNA have been working closely with Sage Ireland to ensure that the software provides the necessary functionality for JLC's.
