Hidden costs in Ireland

  • Auto-enrolment (My Future Fund) starts 30 September 2025, your EOR must enrol every eligible employee (age 23–60, earning €20K+, not already in a workplace pension). Missing this triggers fines.
  • Probation cap of 6 months (post-2022) is enforced, extending it without written justification voids the probation status and gives the employee full unfair-dismissal protection from month 7.
  • Bike-to-work, TaxSaver commuter ticket, and Small Benefit Exemption (€1,000/year tax-free) are common Irish perks, factor in if you're benchmarking offers against UK or US norms.
  • Right to Disconnect Code of Practice (2021) is enforceable, out-of-hours contact policies should be documented or you face WRC complaints.

Platform fee is under 5% of employment cost, differences between providers are noise. Pick on entity ownership, audit posture, and country-specific expertise instead.

Affiliate & ranking disclosure

We earn a commission when you sign up via the Deploy buttons. This does not change your price. Cards are ranked by lowest total monthly spend first. The "Top match" banner uses a separate heuristic that weighs entity ownership, regional specialisation and contract terms, not commission. Some affiliates (Deel) offer promotional discounts that are not applied to the fees shown. Provider metadata (FX spread, deposit, entity ownership) and tax brackets are sourced from public materials and operator interviews as of June 2026, confirm exact terms with each provider and your tax counsel before signing.
