Minister signs ERO for workers in the security industry

August 31, 2023

Earlier this month Neal Richmond, Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail signed an Employment Regulation Order for the Security Industry. The Order for the new ERO, signed on 25 August, will commence on 4 September 2023 when approximately 16,000 workers will see their minimum rate of pay rise from €11.65 to €12.90 per hour. The order had been intended to commence in August 2022, however a legal challenge by a number of small employers in the security industry had prevented this from happening.
