Moved to new co, same salary, less pay!

    I (and four of my colleagues) changed job on the 01.11.2015

    Our salary will not increase until 01.02.2106 with our new employer (we are now a subsidiary of a UK co.) so we are still on the same EUR 35,000 p.a.

    In order to get some feedback, maybe it is better if I advise the figures

    I was on a salary of 35,000 p.a. - with a 5% pension contribution, we are on the exact salary for November December and January (less the pension contribution as this will not start until 01.02)

    My take home pay was EUR 2249.00 per month January > October

    As the new co. is still being formed, we received our monthly salary (guesstimated) at EUR 2236.00 in November, I received my December payslip today showing a take home pay of EUR 2013.87

    I'm currently querying with the Company Secretary, but am needing some clarification as to whether I am correct in my sums

    In my previous employment, my deductions were
    PAYE EUR 268.46 p/m
    PRSI ee EUR 116.52 p/m
    USC EUR 132.46 p/m

    as per the payslip, I received (for two months). it shows
    PAYE EUR 502.99 p/m
    PRSI EUR 116.52 p/m
    USC EUR 168.27 p/m

    so they reckon our take home p/ is only EUR 2125.22 - they also deducted the balance from last months "overpayment"

    My questions - and I apologise for the essay -

    Are my figures correct? I have verified them with Irish Salary Checker and PWC online and they seem so
    We have no pension contribution for November / December, shouldn't the take home be higher?
    If the issue is with Revenue (ie maybe they are applying emergency tax?), how long would it take for a reimbursement?
    Am I wrong in thinking our salary and take home should be the exact same as our previous employer?

    Any insights, much appreciated, panicking slightly here with Xmas next week and I calculate I am circa 400.00 out of pocket!
