Employing in Ireland
Irish employment law is not contained under a single law. Instead it is governed by common law, statutes enacted in law, the Irish Constitution, EU laws, collective labour agreements in certain industries, and the individual employment contract itself.
Employment law provides strong labor conditions and protections for employees, so employing people will generally be an important investment and commitment.
However, temporary agencies are popular options for more flexible workforce arrangements. For these and many other reasons, the following are only guidelines in the broadest sense, and professional legal services have to be consulted when employing Ireland.

The minimum wage in Ireland is EUR 13.50 per hour, which equals EUR 28,080 per year, based on a standard 40-hour workweek. This rate is effective starting January 1, 2025.

We can help you get a new employee started in Ireland fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 2 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Ireland, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Ireland may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
