    Hi all,
    Ive discovered my boss hasn't been paying my prsi since February last year! The outstanding arrears are about 700 euro! Which he wants me to pay. Ive looked on the citizen advise website and its says the employer is responsible the arrears! Just looking for another take on this please...
    Cheers and thanks.

    You are correct. Employers are responsible for ensuring that the correct PRSI deductions are made from your wages. In the case where they did not do this, they become liable for not only the employER portion but also the employEE portion and any arrears or penalties arising therefrom.

    Print out the information from citizen's information and the social welfare sites and discuss this with your employer armed with this information. Also make sure you follow up with the PRSI folk to make sure it gets actioned. It's really important that your PRSI is kept up to date as if you ever need to access any social benefits or allowances your PRSI contributions play an important role.

    Do you get payslips? You need to check them to ensure PRSI is being deducted and at the correct rate (employEE and employER). You can get info on the correct rates for your pay bracket on citizens information. And if you don't get payslips you need to insist on one. It is a legal obligation of your employer to provide you with a payslip.
