Employment Contract Translation, Legal Language Services, Legal Document Translation, Worker Safety and Non-Discrimination of Foreign Workers
Could a failure to translate Employment Contracts and Safety Policies and Procedures into the languages of foreign workers be tantamount to discrimination?
In an article written by Dawn Carney - an Irish solicitor, a Dublin-based company has been ordered to pay each foreign member of its staff €5,000.00 (totaling to €290,000) for failure to provide a foreign language translation of their work contracts and safety documentation to them. According to the findings, some foreign workers were treated less favorably than Irish employees and other foreign members who, on a seemingly selective basis, have received document translation of their employment contracts and safety procedures. Because not everyone was accorded the same opportunity, the complainants were disadvantaged in relation to their access to and understanding of such documents.
