Dublin, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Employee Benefits in Ireland 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Irish social security system covers company employees, self-employed individuals, the unemployed, people with less than minimum resources, and dependent family members of deceased employees. The Irish social welfare system is divided into social insurance payments, means-tested payments, and universal payments. The payment of social insurance is mandatory; both employers and employees must contribute Pay-Related Social Insurance (PRSI) contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

Self-employed persons pay Class S social insurance contributions directly to the Revenue Commissioners, although these are not required to be paid after the age of 66. A range of state benefits is available for Irish residents, which are subject to several conditions other than social insurance contribution requirements. Companies across the country also provide customized private benefits to their employees as a supplement to state benefits.

Key Highlights

• The Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973, the Organization of Working Time Act 1997, the Payment of Wages Act 1991, and the Maternity Protection Act 1994 are responsible for the functioning of the overall social security system.
