Hello all, I had to attend my GP on Thursday 13th with a chest infection and as per safety protocol, was sent for a Covid test. My place of employment had to close for 2 days ( very close staff proximity, working with public, closed Thursday / Fri) as a precautionary measure. I recieved my...

Hi all, I need to buy a memory card to expand storage space on my Samsung Neo S5. There are LOADS online but I have heard first hand of people buying memory cards for their phones, only to find they are fakes or rebranded generics, not with the speeds or space advertised. I want to go as far...

Thanks for the replies. Black Sheep - the query is not the calculation but rather the allocation of the 4 weeks leave into the number of days / hours as our "week" is 3 days one week and 4 days the next. Newtothis: thanks for the links, all up to date with that though and aware of what should...

Many thanks Elcato - it seems to be the most logical calculation alright. I'm hoping my employer will see it the same way and work by the hour and not 13 days leave. Any confirmation from anybody else?

Hello, looking for an experienced / qualified answer here please. Trying to double check the annual leave we have been allocated at work. Myself and staff member work a min of 1300 hours per year (additional hours on top of that for holiday cover etc). Under the Act, it seems we are...

Thanks for that - it seems incredibly unfair, however "unfair" doesn't usually have the same standing as "illegal". Has anybody any definitive answer? It's in my contract to be paid weekly, but this has been breached repeatedly already on previous occasions and other matters. Rural area, high...

Hi all, looking for advice please. Various issues at work of late and many changes, 2 members of staff and we have gone from full-time to part time employment in the last month (22 / 28 hour week on rotation) My employer told me casually at lunch time, not in staff meeting and not with other...

Many thanks for that - appreciate it.

Hello, after a rollercoaster few years with IVF I am thrilled to finally be pregnant with our first baby! As my employer does not provide sick pay or provide paid time off to attend appointments I am doing a lot of research into my situation for the next few months. My employer knows about...

Update: Bank admitted liability in the error of confirming the price match PRIOR to receiving same from their underwriters, Irish Life. This is where the error has occurred. Highly unprofessional in my opinion! This has delayed house purchase by another few days - was advised we could...

Hello all, looking for opinion / advice please. May partner and I are completing purchase of our first home this week (supposedly!) We shopped around for various mortgage protection insurance quotations from places other than our bank as their quote was quite high. We got a good quote from...

Don't know anything about her tax credits to be honest, but she certainly wouldn't have paid too much PAYE earlier in the year. I couldn't imagine what the change in tax credits could possibly be in relation to, but then again I guess you never know. Employer is curious too as to why this has...

Thanks guys for the information - Joe90: would you know how best to allocate the tax credits between various employers? the "fifths" idea has been proposed and various employers are happy with this. However , if we can manage to retain as much net as possible (no matter how small the...

Thank you Joe 90 - MODS: you can close thread please.

No.

As far as I think so, yes. They have been guided through the process by an appointed person from Revenue who co-ordinated same and approved the transition, working from the company to employee status. Revenue oversaw each step and have been on board since the proposal came into effect (approx...

OH operated as a self employed person of their own Ltd Co for years, Revenue have now decided their professional status meets that of employee and not self employed (have worked at the same 4 places for many many years now - 16years plus) No 'repayment' demans from Revenue as such. The...
