Frequently
asked questions

Yes. We manage employer PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance, typically around 8.8% to 11.05% depending on salary band), PAYE income tax, and the Universal Social Charge (USC) withholding. Ireland is also rolling out an auto-enrolment pension scheme (My Future Fund) for employees not already in a workplace pension, and we track eligibility and contribution timelines as the rollout continues.

Beyond statutory PRSI and the incoming pension auto-enrolment, competitive Irish employers typically offer private health insurance (a strong expectation given wait times in the public system), income protection, and additional annual leave above the statutory 20 days. Remote and hybrid flexibility remains a significant differentiator in Ireland’s tight tech and pharma talent markets.

Statutory minimum notice under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act scales from one week for under two years’ service up to eight weeks for fifteen or more years, though contracts often specify longer notice for senior roles. Statutory redundancy pay is two weeks’ pay per year of service plus one bonus week, subject to a weekly pay ceiling, and unfair dismissal protections generally apply after twelve months’ continuous service.

An EOR can typically onboard within a few days to a week once PPS number and bank details are confirmed, compared with the several weeks needed to register a company with the CRO, set up PAYE with Revenue, and establish compliant payroll. Ireland’s fast, English-language incorporation process narrows this gap somewhat compared with other EU markets, but an EOR still wins on speed for a first hire.

Ireland is one of the more straightforward EU markets to incorporate in, but ongoing PAYE, PRSI, and the incoming pension auto-enrolment obligations still require dedicated payroll administration. An EOR takes on that compliance and liability, which is typically the faster route for an initial Irish hire, particularly for US companies using Ireland as an EU entry point.
