The HRI Employment Guide for the Horse Breeding and Racing Sectors was produced in conjunction with the Workplace Relations Commission and provides a comprehensive resource of good employment practices.
A working group of industry bodies including the Irish Racehorse Trainers Association, the Irish Stablestaff Association, and the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association, worked collaboratively on the guide for 12 months with the assistance of the Workplace Relations Commission. The document comprehensively sets out the responsibilities of employers and the rights of employees under various relevant legislation.
This guide will reflect any relevant changes to employment legislation and will inform the content of all relevant training programmes for employers within the industry.
