Employer does not pay employee while out sick

Illness Benefit is subject to PAYE only, it is not subject to USC or PRSI.

Since 1st January 2018, employers are no longer required to tax Illness Benefit through the payroll.

Instead, Revenue adjust the employee's tax credits and cut off points via the Revenue Payroll Notification (RPN).

RPNs should be checked before every pay period. 

 

EMPLOYER DOES NOT PAY THE EMPLOYEE WHILE THEY ARE OUT SICK 

  • Amend the employee's hours/basic pay to reflect the period the employee is out sick

  • Import the amended RPN immediately
