Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI)

Definition: PRSI is the primary social insurance contribution deducted from employees' earnings and matched by employer contributions in Ireland.

Regulatory Impact & Compliance Overview

Healthcare staffing and care providers must calculate PRSI according to specific contribution classes (most commonly Class A for employees and Class S for directors/self-employed contractors). Real-time payroll submissions must be transmitted to the Revenue Commissioners via Revenue Online Service (ROS) under Irish PAYE Modernisation.

Governing Authority

Enforced by Department of Social Protection / Revenue Commissioners in Ireland. Compliance with these standards is legally required for all licensed and participating care providers.
