Payroll

Payroll in Ireland involves calculating and distributing salaries and wages to employees, as well as deducting taxes and other withholdings. Employers are responsible for registering with the Revenue Commissioners, obtaining a tax registration number, and making regular payroll submissions to the government. They must also comply with minimum wage rates, employment laws, and regulations related to social insurance contributions, pensions and benefits. Many companies outsource their payroll to specialised firms to ensure accuracy and compliance and to avoid penalties and legal issues.
