Pretty sure the payslip thing is standard, as is the contract.

The Payment of Wages Act 1991 gives all employees in Ireland a right to a pay slip which will show the gross wage and details of all deductions. A pay slip is essentially a statement in writing from the employer to the employee that outlines the total pay before tax and all details of any deductions from pay. Your right to a pay slip is set down in Section 4 of this Act.

Can't seem to find the detail on contracts but the same basically applies. She should be getting a payslip and if not needs to find out why pronto.

Edit found it

The Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994 and 2001 provide that an employer is obliged to provide an employee with a written statement of terms of employment within the first two months of the commencement of employment.

The statement of terms must include the following information:

The full name of employer and employee
The address of the employer
The place of work
The title of job or nature of work
The date the employment started
If the contract is temporary, the expected duration of the contract
If the contract of employment is for a fixed term, the details
The rate of pay or method of calculation of pay
The pay reference period for the purposes of the National Minimum Wage Act, 2000
*Pay intervals
*Hours of work
*Details of paid leave
*Sick pay and pension (if any)
*Period of notice to be given by employer or employee
*Details of any collective agreements that may affect the employee’s terms of employment
* In the case of these items instead of giving each employee the details in writing, the employer may refer an employee to other documents, for example, a pension scheme booklet or a collective agreement, provided that the employee has easy access to such documents.

The statement of terms must indicate the reference period being used by the employer for the purposes of the calculation of the employee's entitlements under the Minimum Wage Act, 2000. (Under that Act the employer may calculate the employee's minimum wage entitlement over a reference period that is no less than one week and no greater than one month).

The statement of terms must also inform the employee that he/she has the right to ask the employer for a written statement of his/her average hourly rate of pay for any reference period (except the current reference period) in the 12 months prior to the date of the employee’s request.

She should deffo be getting a payslip.. Tell her to phone the Department of Employment... they will give her all the answers she needs.

If she thinks the agency is bad, she should just get away from them as quickly as possible.

If they have not been forthcoming with contracts and payslips, it most probably means they're up to no good.

For all she knows, they could be collecting 55K and paying her 25 or less.

Also when you're working for an agency, your legal employment rights go out the window.

Even though it's the law. When was the last time you heard of a company up in court for not issueing payslips.
