Product Description

Payroll Basics for Irish Employers is a practical, software-neutral course covers everything an Irish employer needs to get right when paying people, from initial registration to on-time submissions. Designed for new employers, administrators taking on payroll duties, and owner-managers handling staff for the first time, the session focuses purely on the rules and mechanics rather than any specific software package.

You will learn how to handle employer registration and reporting obligations, gather mandatory employee details, understand Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPNs), and calculate gross-to-net pay including PAYE, USC, and PRSI by hand. The curriculum also addresses real-time reporting deadlines, statutory entitlements like minimum wage and sick leave, and essential record-keeping rules to ensure full compliance.
