Tax & Social Services Information

Before you start working in Ireland, you require a Personal Public Service (PPS) number which will register and identify you on the tax system. To obtain your PPS number you will need to visit your local Social Welfare branch. You will need proof of your address & ID, e.g. a utility bill, passport and your work permit. For further information log on to www.welfare.ie

Tax Certificate - Once you have a PPS number (normally takes 1-2 weeks) you will need to apply for a tax certificate. You can download the form off the website or go into the branch. A Tax Certificate will ensure that you are taxed at the correct rate.

Tax Refunds - If your earnings have been relatively low you may be entitled to a tax rebate before you leave Ireland. To claim you will need a P60 (outlining your exact salary and tax details) and/or a P45 form (which you get when you leave a job).

Banking Information

You will need a bank account in order to be paid by your employer. It is best to telephone the bank first and ask for the information required before you go in but generally you’ll need two forms of ID and a letter or bill which has an address of where you are staying in Ireland. Services in banks do vary so shop around. You should be able to open an account within a week of trying. It’s a good idea to bring a letter or statements from your bank at home, as examples of your recent financial history. The main banks to choose from are:

Bank of Ireland (http://www.boi.ie )

AIB (www.aib.ie )

Permanent TSB ( http://www.permanenttsb.ie )

Ulster Bank ( www.ulsterbank.ie )

Healthcare

It is a good idea to register with your local doctor as soon as you have found somewhere to live. In the event of an emergency dial 999.

In general an employee has no right under employment law in Ireland to be paid while on sick leave. Consequently, it is at the discretion of the employer to decide his/her own policy on sick pay and sick leave, subject to the employee’s contract or terms of employment


Holiday Entitlements

There are 3 different ways of calculating your annual leave entitlement:

1. Based on the employee's working hours during what is called the leave year, which runs from April to March. An employee who has worked at least 1,365 hours in the leave year (that is, an average working week of 26.25 hours) is entitled to the maximum of 4 weeks' annual leave. Many employers use the calendar year (January-December) instead of the official leave year to calculate entitlement

2. By allowing 1/3 of a working week for each calendar month in which the employee has worked at least 117 hours

3. 8% of the hours worked in the leave year, subject to a maximum of 4 weeks

You may use whichever of these methods gives the greater entitlement. An employee who has worked for at least 8 months is entitled to an unbroken period of 2 weeks' annual leave

Public Holidays

Your entitlement to public holidays is set out in the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. Most employees are entitled to paid leave on public holidays. One exception is part-time employees who have not worked for their employer at least 40 hours in total in the 5 weeks before the public holiday.

Employees who qualify will be entitled to either the public holiday off as paid leave or one of the following alternatives:

1. A paid day off within a month of the public holiday

2. An additional day of annual leave

3. An additional day's pay

4. The nearest church holiday to the public holiday as a paid day off

The Organisation of Working Time Act provides that you may ask your employer at least 21 days before a public holiday, which of the alternatives will apply. If your employer fails to respond at least 14 days before the public holiday, you are entitled to take the actual public holiday as a paid day off.
