WRC Christmas and New Year Infoline Hours

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) in Ireland has issued a notice detailing its operational schedule and infoline availability during the Christmas and New Year holiday period for 2025-2026. Key closures include December 25th and 26th, 2025, and January 1st, 2026, for all offices. The WRC's Information and Customer Services phone lines will operate with reduced hours on December 29th, 30th, and 31st, 2025, with normal hours resuming on January 2nd, 2026.

This notice primarily affects how employers and employees can access WRC services during the holiday season. While not imposing new regulatory obligations, it informs stakeholders about service availability, which may impact the timing of inquiries or service requests. Compliance officers should note these dates to manage expectations for WRC interactions and ensure any urgent queries are addressed before the closure periods.
