Farm Employment and WRC Compliance
Protect your farm's legacy with robust contracts and expert compliance advice.
"In 2026, a handshake isn't a contract. Whether you have one seasonal milker or a full-time crew, a single WRC inspection can cost a farm more than a year's profit. We specialize in keeping Irish farmers on the right side of the law."
Our Specialist Services
The "Tied Housing" Shield: Don't accidentally create a lifelong tenancy. We draft Service Occupancy Agreements that ensure your farm accommodation remains for workers only.
WRC-Ready Contracts: Bespoke contracts for seasonal, part-time, and full-time staff that include specific 2026 "Right to Work" and "Pay Transparency" clauses.
Wage & Deduction Audit: We ensure your Board & Lodging deductions stay within the €33.42/week statutory limits (2026 rates) to avoid Minimum Wage breaches.
Seasonal & Bonus Structures: Legally sound "Staged Payment" clauses for calving and lambing seasons to ensure staff retention and clear expectations.
The "Farmer's 5-Minute Audit"
Do you have a signed contract for every worker within 5 days of their start date?
Are your "Board & Lodging" deductions listed clearly on every payslip?
If a worker leaves tomorrow, is your farm cottage legally protected for the next hire?
Do you have a written record of every rest break and Sunday premium paid?
If you answered "No" to any of these, your farm is at risk.
