Employee Guide for Ireland

👋 Welcome to Toku. Toku is your Employer of Record (EOR) in Ireland. We employ you through the appropriate local Toku entity and manage the compliance, HR, payroll, and benefits administration connected to your employment. Your day-to-day work, goals, and role direction continue to come from the organization you support.

Your employment at a glance

📄 Your signed employment agreement governs your individual terms, including pay, working hours, probation, notice, and any custom arrangements. Mandatory local law also applies. If this guide and your agreement appear different, contact Toku before relying on the summary.

Pay schedule and payroll changes

You are normally paid monthly, on the last business day of the month. The standard monthly cutoff for payroll changes is generally the 10th, but the exact cutoff can vary by country and organization. Check the Toku: 2026 and 2027 Payroll Calendar and Deadlines or contact Toku before relying on a specific date.

You will receive a payslip for each payroll cycle showing your gross pay, required deductions, and net pay. Keep your bank, tax, and personal information current in Toku, and notify us promptly if anything changes.

Your employment terms and probation

• Toku issues a compliant local employment agreement for every hire, including the written statements of terms required by law.
• Indefinite-duration contracts are the default. Successive fixed-term contracts beyond four years generally convert to indefinite duration unless objectively justified.
• Probation is 6 months under Toku's employment agreement, which is the statutory cap for private-sector probation (extendable to 12 months only in exceptional cases).

Working hours and overtime

Your normal working hours are stated in your signed employment agreement and may vary by role, schedule, or applicable collective agreement. Toku does not expect routine overtime. Do not work overtime or additional hours unless your manager has approved them in advance. Any overtime or additional-hours treatment follows your signed agreement and mandatory local law.

Leave entitlements

Maternity, paternity, and parent's leave are paid by the state rather than the employer; many employers choose to top these up, but there is no obligation. Annual leave keeps accruing during family leave.

ℹ️ Your employment agreement, Toku HRIS leave balance, and applicable local rules determine your exact entitlement. Contact Toku if the information shown in your account does not match your agreement or this guide.

Public holidays in 2026

Ireland has 10 public holidays in 2026. When one falls on a weekend, the following Monday is generally observed. Good Friday is not a public holiday.

Statutory benefits

Statutory : PRSI funds the state pension, jobseeker's, illness, maternity, paternity, and related benefits, and from 2026 the auto-enrolment pension scheme covers eligible employees without a workplace pension. Ireland has no universal free healthcare, so private health cover is a highly valued benefit.

Additional Toku benefits

Toku maintains a dedicated benefits guide for Ireland. Review Toku: Ireland Health, Dental, Life & Pension Benefits for current coverage, eligibility, enrollment, and support information. The benefits guide is the source of truth for Toku-provided supplemental benefits in this country.

Stablecoin payroll and token grants

Where permitted by local law and enabled for your organization, Toku can support token grant administration and allow you to elect to receive a portion of your net pay in stablecoins. Availability depends on your country, your organization's program, and your individual compensation arrangements. These options are not guaranteed components of every employment package.

If stablecoin payroll is available to you, see Toku: Stablecoin Payroll Set Up. For token grant questions, use the Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the Token Grant Administration team.

Annual tax documents

Your Employment Detail Summary (EDS) is available in January following the tax year through Revenue myAccount, under PAYE Services. Revenue provides this record; it is not an employer-issued P60 to wait for in Toku Documents. Download your EDS from Revenue and contact Toku if the employment or pay figures need correcting. Any separate employer-issued supporting document will be uploaded to Toku Documents when issued. Revenue: Employment Detail Summary.

Leaving Toku: resigning

Give Toku formal notice

Send your resignation letter to Toku, your legal employer, by uploading it to Documents in your Toku account or emailing [email protected]. Also notify your manager. Include your proposed final working day and follow the notice period in your employment agreement and any mandatory local formalities.

Your offboarding documents

Toku sends your formal offboarding/termination documentation through DocuSign and uploads it to your Toku Documents. Review it for your confirmed end date, applicable terms and final-pay arrangements. Toku does not send a separate personalized general offboarding email. Mandatory local certificates may arrive separately from Toku or the local payroll provider, and any required original-document process still applies.

Toku reports your leaving date and final pay to Revenue through the final payroll submission. You can check the reported pay and tax in Revenue myAccount; there is no separate employer P45 to wait for. Your final payslip and formal offboarding documents remain available through Toku. Revenue: leaving your job.

Benefits after leaving

Your benefits are managed by external insurers and providers. Check their emails and member portal or app for coverage-status updates and any action required. Contact the relevant provider directly to confirm your exact coverage end date, any continuation or conversion options, and deadlines; do not assume every provider will send a separate cancellation email. Pension contributions and associated insurance may change when you leave, but leaving does not automatically cancel your pension savings. Review the benefits guide for the plans relevant to you.

Access and support after you leave

You will continue to have access to your Toku account and documents after your employment ends, including tax documents issued later. For help updating your email address, password or 2FA, or for anything unclear in your offboarding documents, email [email protected].

How to get help

Toku is your employer and your first point of contact for employment support. For payroll, payslips, statutory deductions, or payroll tax documents, email [email protected]. For benefits support, email [email protected]. For leave, employment documents, immigration, or other employment matters, use Toku: Contact our Team for Support! to reach the right team.

Important

This guide is a general summary and does not replace your signed employment agreement, Toku policies, benefit plan documents, or applicable law. Your exact entitlements may vary based on your work location, tenure, role, collective agreement, or individual terms. Where there is a conflict, the applicable law and binding employment documents control.
