Do I get stamps for working part time?

    I've just started a part-time job and am working 3 days per week, €9 per hour. Thus far (4 weeks in) I've been paying about €5 in 'universal social charge' per week, and no PRSI or PAYE yet. Does this mean that I won't get any stamps for this work?

    Depending on your earnings you may be exempt from paying prsi but your employer will still have to pay his prsi contribution for you so yes you should be getting "stamps" for this employment. Your payslip should show your employers prsi contributions for you.

    For people in employment in Ireland, social insurance contributions are divided into different categories, known as classes or rates of contribution. The type of class and rate of contribution you pay is determined by the nature of your work. For example, a person employed in a supermarket earning less then €38 per week will be insured under Class J.

    If that person earned over €38, they would probably be insured under Class A. In fact, most employees in Ireland pay Class A PRSI. This class of contribution can entitle you to the full range of social insurance payments that are available from the Department of Social Protection, if you meet the qualifying criteria.


    USC
    You do not pay the Universal Social Charge if your total income for a year is under €10,036.
