At the start of employment, it is your responsibility to update your new employment status with the
Revenue Commissioners on www.revenue.ie. The company’s registration will be provided during the
induction meeting. At the end of each tax year your P60 showing the total pay you have received
from us during that year and the amount of deductions for Income Tax and PRSI can be accessed
from www.revenue.ie . If there is a change in your circumstances, you should speak with the local
revenue office.

This Agreement constitutes your prior written consent in writing to all deductions or payments under
the Payment of Wages Act, 1991 as are contemplated by your contract of employment or this
Employee Handbook.

2.12.3 Overtime
Overtime is scheduled at the Company’s discretion and is subject to their authorisation. Management
reserves the right to determine the duration of overtime and the number of employees required to

business and customer requirements.

2.12.4 Public Holidays
See Section 4.1.5 of this handbook.

2.12.5 Sick Pay
The Company does not operate a sick pay scheme. The company therefore is not obliged to pay you

Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection benefits. Where, at the Company’s
discretion you are paid, you will be required to return any social welfare benefits to the company.

2.12.6 Overpayments
If you are overpaid for any reason, the total amount of the overpayment will normally be deducted
from your next payment but if this would cause difficulties to you personally, arrangements may be
made with your MANAGER, in certain circumstances, for the overpayment to be recovered over a
longer period but not exceeding two months.

2.12.7 Other Deductions from Wages
The company reserve the right to deduct from your wages any costs incurred by the Company
resulting from a mistake made by any employee provided Company disciplinary procedures have
been adhered too.

2.13 ATTENDANCE AND ABSENTEEISM
Maintaining our reputation for a quality service depends upon your punctual and full attendance at
work. The importance the Company places on full attendance and punctuality is reflected in the fact
that these are important criteria for consideration at performance reviews and internal promotions
or transfers.

Failure to comply with the absence procedure will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedure.
