On or before payday
PAYE Modernisation requires employers to report pay, tax and deductions to Revenue in real time each time employees are paid.

A new hire without a PPS number or a registered job goes straight onto emergency tax, which can take 40 percent or more of the first payslip.

Q01What is PAYE Modernisation?
It is Revenue's real-time reporting system, live since 2019, requiring employers to submit payroll details on or before each payday. We handle every submission automatically.
Q02Can you run payroll while I focus on the business?
Yes. We take over calculation, reporting and payslips each cycle. You simply approve the run and fund the payments.
Q03What happens if a new hire has no PPS number yet?
Without a PPS number and a registered job, the employee goes onto emergency tax, which can take 40 percent or more of the first payslip. We flag this early so you fix it in week one.
Q04How much is employer PRSI?
Employer PRSI is a separate statutory cost of roughly 8.8 percent to 11.15 percent of pay, depending on the class and pay level. It is not a service fee, and we factor it into your cost planning.
Q05Do you handle payroll for staff on employment permits?
Yes, and we make sure the pay actually delivered matches the salary on the permit, for example EUR 40,904 or more on a Critical Skills permit with a relevant degree. Underpaying can void the permit.
