If you have your payslips for 2009 , you could check to see if there has been earnings in a particular week , that you have not been awarded a contribution .
For instance , did you receive holiday pay for more than 5 working days and only receive one contribution . ?
If you were paid for a bank holiday only in a particular week , it could qualify as a contribution ?
Its possible that your employers included 53 weeks in their tax year 2008 in error , and if so , maybe you have an extra contribution there that relates to 2009 ?
In 2008, the 1st of January fell on a Tuesday which means each PRSI contribution week ran from Tuesday to the following Monday. - This could prove vital .
If your payroll week runs from Sunday to Sunday - you may have an extra contribution there .
In 2009, the 1st of January fell on a Thursday which means each PRSI contribution week runs from Thursday to the following Wednesday.
Ask your employers to re-check your contributions from their attendence register , and not from their payroll summary .
If there are discrepancies , they can issue a new statement of earnings .
