Employers to be 'named and shamed' over workers' rights

Employers have been warned that they face being "named and shamed" if they break the law by failing to give employees their statutory entitlements, employment group McCann FitzGerald have warned today.

Terence McCrann, head of the group, said the newly established National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) will be a powerful champion for employment rights and among its powers is the ability to publicly publish the names of employers who don’t comply with employment laws.
