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.

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.

Each year the charity's dedicated fundraising team must raise almost �5 million so that more children and families can attend these life changing programmes. 96% of this money must come form voluntary sources including individuals, community events and corporate partners.
