Hiring in Ireland
Thanks to its robust infrastructure, highly skilled workforce, and reputation as a hub for top companies in tech and pharmaceuticals, Ireland is a popular destination for international hiring. Companies wishing to establish a legal entity in Ireland may also benefit from its competitive corporate tax rate, pro-business regulations, and direct access to the European Union (EU) market. But before hiring in Ireland, it’s important to understand its employment regulations.
Employment relationships in Ireland are governed by national legislation, EU directives, statutory instruments, and common law, as well as collective agreements and individual contracts. The key employment laws include the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994-2014, the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, and the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997.
Because of the complexity of employment laws in Ireland, compliant employment contracts are an essential business need. With Safeguard Global as your partner, you can employ workers in Ireland with confidence, knowing that every contract for every worker meets all legal requirements. We can also provide you with guidance about cultural norms and hiring best practices and keep you up to date with employment regulations as they change.
Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Ireland
An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Ireland. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with Ireland’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Ireland.
The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
