    yo, this is actually quite normal, happened to me before. Generally speaking as a single person you can earn the eqiuvelant of about 400 euro tax free every week for the year, so if u dont earn that one week it would carry forward or whatever. Some companys dont give out payslips but would have them their if you ask for them, i dont think you pay PRSI until you earn about 200 hundred a week either, so its quite possible they are doin everything legit and you just dont owe nothing, having said that if your worried ask them or give the tax office a ring ya know
