National Payroll Week - Monday 30th August - Friday 3rd September - Keeping Ireland Paid
National Payroll Week is an initiative of the Irish Payroll
Association (IPASS) www.ipass.ie which celebrates the hard work and
dedicated service provided by payroll personnel in Ireland. It is
their responsibility to guarantee accurate and timely payment of
salary and wage payments for more than 1.8 million employees. The
work of payroll personnel is usually taken for granted and often
goes unrecognised and unrewarded, despite the fact that they play a
vital role in every company. Payroll personnel in Ireland are
responsible for implementing and complying with a wide range of
taxation, social welfare and employment legislation and in the
course of doing do, they process over 80 million payslips a year,
and collecting and remitting more than Euro16 billion in income
tax, PRSI contributions and levies to the Irish Revenue
Commissioners each year..
Every employer is welcome to participate with us in celebrating
the outstanding service provided by payroll personnel in Ireland.
There is no cost involved and in doing so, they will provide useful
information and tax tips for their staff and help to raise funds
for a very worthwhile children's charity - Barretstown.

world-which helps children affected by serious illness regain their
confidence and self-esteem. Hospitals primary focus is on the
pyhscial effect of serious illness,Barretstown helps to heal the
emotional scars.
The children who come to Barretstown have often spent a long
time in hospital and have been denied ordinary childood experiences
such a making friends, developing independance and social skills.
At Barretstown they ar encouraged to step outside their comfort
zone and take on challenges such as performing on stage or climbing
a 40ft tower (other activites include fishing, horseriding, face
painting, archery canoeing photography music, pottery and cooking).
Through their success they stop seeing themselves as sick kids and
use their new-found confidence and skills to deal with the
challenges of their everyday lives.

have�been to Barretstown free of charge. Each year the charity's
