The Minister of State for Business, Employment, and Retail has approved a new Employment Regulation Order (ERO) that increases pay for security industry professionals, effective 22 July 2025. The new order, signed following recommendations from the Joint Labour Committee, raises the statutory minimum hourly wage to € 15.41. This follows a series of phased increases that began under the 2024 regulation. The ERO applies to licensed private security personnel, including door supervisors, static security officers, and event security workers. It is legally binding for all employers in the sector, meaning companies must comply with the updated rates or risk penalties under labour law.
