In the 1970's, there was very little legislation governing the employment relationship and common law was heavily weighted in favour of the employer.

The passing into law of the Unfair Dismissal Act 1977 marked the emergence of a significant body of law which is designed to reverse the imbalance in the relationship between the employer and employee.

Today, employers face a bewildering array of obligations under employment law which revolve around recruitment, terms of employment, discrimination, record keeping, payment of wages and termination of employment.

There is an increasing emphasis on compliance which is evidenced by the setting up to the National Employment Rights Authority to promote a 'culture of compliance' with employment law.
