OP, the above answers fail to take account of PAYE - you also don't mention your tax-credits. I don't know your past history for 2008, but I think you could be doing very very well.
Get your contract in writing and ensure that you're paid €600 NET, not GROSS. Employer's must deduct PAYE. (Is this an undercounter job - pay etc!? The employer may not simply want to account for PRSI/PAYE etc)
Depending on whether your'e Single or Married etc means the difference between doing very well here, or very very well !!!!

You earn €150 a week x 52 = €7,800 a year / 12 months = €650 a month.
Thats what you should be getting paid unless ive made an error.
8% of the hours worked in a leave year subject to a
maximum of 4 working weeks.
I don't get this point. Why would the employer give a NET figure? Who gets told what they are paid in NET figures?
Isn't that paid leave though, the 8%, so why would it be subtracted?
Thanks everyone, with my feeble brain, I am more confused than ever!
Yup, this is my only source of income and it is "over the counter" - I am paying PRSI but not PAYE as I am not earning enough to be taxed.
Oh, and I am entitled to take holidays - 8% of hours worked.
Edited to add: I just got this email back from my employer:
On your pay. You will receive the same amount for your 2 days a week each month. ie. we do not process weekly pay amounts. This keeps your pay an average over your 12 months not the number of weeks in each month.
That is our standard for all employees and keeps the payroll as normal from month to month as is possible.

Part timers don't usually get paid leave. However because this company is averaging over the months it makes it look like they are giving paid leave, but its not really.
Have you spoken you your employer about this and asked for a clarification?Of course, AJ
I just couldn't get my question into thread title quite as succintly as yourself!
In my last job, we were paid for exactly the hours worked up to thte 28th of each month. So sometimes you'd have a four week month, sometimes, a five week month.
I have just been given a third day of work with this company so in 2009 I will be working a three day week - i.e. 21.5hrs per week or twelve days a month - and earning €215 a week or €860 a month.
The maths go like this:
By my employer's method of reckoning, I will be paid €860 twelve times from January, giving a total annual income of €10,320.
By own reckoning, I will actually work 153 days in 2009. So my gross income should actually be €11,475.
€10,320 divided by 153 days worked gives an hourly rate of pay of €9.00 and not €10.00, as was agreed.

Don't make no sense I tells ya!
Part time workers are entitled to the same level of paid leave as full time workers are. Any company that does not pay annual leave is breaking the law. All workers are entitled to 8% of their hours worked as paid annual leave.
