PRSI contributions by employers and employees is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Social Protection.

Ireland’s body of employment rights legislation protects all employees who are legally employed on an employer-employee basis. Therefore, once it is clear that a person is working under a contract of employment (written or oral), on a full-time or part-time basis, that person has the same protection under employment law as other employees.  Any persons with questions or complaints regarding their rights under employment law should contact Workplace Relations Customer Service on lo-call 1890 80 80 90 or at www.workplacerelations.ie
