Questions

• Who can legally work in Ireland?

  EU citizens, non-EU citizens with work permits, and Irish citizens all have the right to work. Each group must secure a PPS number for tax and social insurance before employment begins, which employers require as proof of eligibility.

• What contract types do Irish employers use?

  Permanent contracts, fixed-term contracts, and casual/part-time arrangements are the standard. Each carries different notice periods: permanent roles typically require two weeks' notice, fixed-term roles end on their specified date, and casual work can terminate with shorter notice.

• What are typical working hours in Ireland?

  The standard working week is 39 hours. Employers can ask for additional hours by agreement; overtime is not automatically included in the base week and is negotiated separately.

• How is overtime handled?

  Overtime sits outside the standard 39-hour week and is arranged by mutual agreement between employer and employee. Payment rates and conditions vary by employer and contract.

• What documents do employers request?

  Employers ask for proof of right to work, a valid PPS number, references from previous roles, and a CV. Some roles require specific qualifications or certifications depending on the sector.

• When does the tax year run?

  The Irish tax year aligns with the calendar year, running from January to December. This shapes how PAYE deductions appear on paycheques and when annual tax credits apply.

• How frequently are employees paid?

  Most employees are paid weekly or monthly by direct transfer to their bank account. The payslip shows gross pay, PAYE tax deductions, and social insurance contributions.

• What bank holidays interrupt the working calendar?

  Fixed bank holidays occur in May, August, and December, plus Easter Monday and other set dates. Employers must grant these as paid days off unless the contract specifies otherwise.

• What is the Leaving Cert and why does it matter to employers?

  The Leaving Certificate is the qualification school-leavers hold after secondary education; employers use it to assess educational background. It remains a standard reference point on CVs across sectors.

• What notice must employers and employees give?

  Permanent contracts typically require two weeks' written notice from either party. Fixed-term contracts end on their set date unless extended, and notice terms are written into each contract.
