Girlfriends employer hasn't paid PRSI and she's due to go on maternity leave

    Hi guys, I hope some of you can help me out here.

    My girlfriends employer hasn't paid any PRSI contributions since she started there in 07. She's going on Maternity leave soon and as such she now won't be entitled to any maternity benefit. I work outside Ireland and so wasn't aware that she hadn't been receiving any tax statements (she's quite naive when it comes to tax)

    I confronted her employer about it last week and he said he would back date her taxes. I told her to go to her local revenue office today and explain what's been going on, she asked if any contributions have been made since last week and they told her that nothing has been paid into the system so far. According to revenue she's been out of the system since 07.

    She's due to go on maternity leave in 4 weeks. My question is, if her employer does back date her taxes will she still be eligible for maternity benefit within the 4 weeks?

    Also, if I don't believe her employer when he claims to have backdated her taxes then who should I contact about it? Revenue seem quite passive about it IMO

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Wow, No contributions paid scince 07. Get her to citisens advice right away, or a solicitor, and also the local walfare office. I hope she has kept pay slips to prove that the contributions have been deducted from her pay. It is illegal not to give them. I think her employer has pocketted the money he should have paid in on her behalf. Get help now. Love to know how this pans out.
