Payroll Services in Ireland
Accurate payroll processing, PAYE compliance, and reliable support for businesses across Ireland.
RICHARD OSHEA CONSULTANCY
Your team gets paid correctly and on time. Every time.
Payroll sounds straightforward until something goes wrong, a miscalculated deduction, a missed Revenue submission, or a new employee set up incorrectly. The consequences range from unhappy staff to Revenue penalties, and both are avoidable.
We manage payroll for Irish businesses — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, handling everything from payslips and PAYE submissions to Revenue queries and year-end reporting.
You hand it over, we handle it, and your team gets paid.
WHY BUSINESSES OUTSOURCE PAYROLL
What Payroll Actually Involves, And Why Businesses Outsource It
Processing payroll in Ireland isn’t just calculating a salary and issuing a payslip. Every pay run involves real-time Revenue submissions under PAYE Modernisation, accurate PAYE, PRSI, USC, and pension deductions, and compliance with entitlements around sick pay, holiday pay, and statutory leave, all of which change regularly.
For most business owners, this is time-consuming, high-risk, and not what they set up a business to spend their week on. Outsourcing it removes the risk and frees up the time — for a fixed monthly cost that’s almost always less than what the hours are worth.
What's Included
Payroll Processing Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly
Payroll processed accurately and on schedule. Whether you have one employee or a growing workforce, every payroll run is managed professionally and on time.

Payroll Services for Construction Businesses
Construction payroll often involves additional complexity, particularly where subcontractors, variable working hours, and RCT obligations are involved.
RCT vs PAYE — Getting Classification Right
One of the most common and costly mistakes in construction is incorrectly classifying workers.
Treating a subcontractor as an employee, or vice versa — can create Revenue exposure and unexpected liabilities.
We help ensure workers are classified correctly from the outset and review arrangements when circumstances change.
Weekly Subcontractor Payments
Many construction businesses process weekly subcontractor payments based on work completed.
We manage the payment processing, RCT deductions, and Revenue submissions associated with each payment cycle.
Casual and Variable-Hours Workers
Construction staffing arrangements often change from project to project.
We ensure payroll remains accurate for casual, seasonal, and variable-hours workers, including holiday pay calculations and statutory entitlements.
