Latest News →Zero Hour Contracts – Employer Update
What Is A Zero Hour Contract?
A Zero Hour contract is an employment contract that does not guarantee an employee a minimum number of working hours, whilst still requiring the employee to be available for work either for a certain number of hours or when required by the employer (or both).
Zero Hour Contracts vs If And When Contracts
Under a Zero Hour contract there is an obligation on the employer to offer work to the employee and an obligation on the employee to accept the offer of work. If the employee is not offered hours during the time when they are expected to be available, the employer must compensate the employee.
Alternatively, if an employee and an employer agree a contract that does not oblige either party to provide work or be available for work, this is known as an If and When contract. As there is no mutuality of obligation, anyone working under an If and When contract could be considered a contractor rather than an employee.
Zero Hour Contract Legislation Update For Employers
Under legislation that came into effect on 4 March 2019, the use of Zero Hour contracts is now restricted in most circumstances. Employers must now inform their staff of the number of hours they would be reasonably expected to work in a normal working day and a normal working week.
– Exemptions
Zero Hour contracts can still be used in the following situations:
- Where there is a casual nature to the employment;
- During a period of emergency; and
- When short-term cover for absences is a necessity.
– Terms Of Employment
Employers are now obliged to provide workers with a written statement of the five core terms of their employment within five days of starting work. The terms are:
- The full names of the employer and employee;
- The employer’s address;
- The duration of the contract, including the end date for fixed-term contracts;
- The rate of pay and method of calculation; and
- The reasonably expected number of hours in a normal day and week.
– Zero Hour Contract Minimum Payments
Key elements of the updated legislation relate to minimum payments. For example, if an employee is not called into work, they are entitled to be paid for 25% of the hours they would have reasonably been expected to work, at a rate of 3 times the national minimum wage. Therefore, an employee whose contract requires them to be available for 20 hours per week should be paid for a minimum of five hours in the event of not being offered work in any given week.
– Banded Hours
Where an employee’s actual number of working hours over a 12 month period is in excess of the hours stated in their contract they can request to be given a Banded Hours contract. A Banded Hours contract guarantees an employee an average number of hours of work within one of the following bands:
| Bands of weekly working hours | From | To |
| Band A | 3 hours | 6 hours |
| Band B | 6 hours | 11 hours |
| Band C | 11 hours | 16 hours |
| Band D | 16 hours | 21 hours |
| Band E | 21 hours | 26 hours |
| Band F | 26 hours | 31 hours |
| Band G | 31 hours | 36 hours |
| Band H | 36 hours and over |

Latest News →What Is Permanent Establishment?
The Irish Revenue* defines permanent establishment as “a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried on” and includes it as an article in double taxation treaties which follow the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) model tax treaty.
As the text of individual double taxation treaties can vary, the relevant article of the appropriate treaty should always be consulted when making a permanent establishment determination.
What Are The Consequences Of Permanent Establishment?
If an enterprise from outside of Ireland is deemed to have permanent establishment in the state, then Irish Revenue has the right to tax the profits of that enterprise.
The taxes which can apply, depending on the circumstances, are:
- Income Tax;
- Corporation Tax; and
- Capital Gains Tax.
Do I Have Permanent Establishment?
Determining permanent establishment is not always straightforward, although article 5 of the OECD model lists the following as indicators of permanent establishment:
- A place of management;
- A branch;
- An office;
- A factory;
- A workshop; and
- A mine, an oil or gas well, a quarry or any other place of extraction of natural resources.
This list is not exhaustive, and even without a physical presence such as those listed above, it is still possible for a business to have permanent establishment, particularly when the business has an agent in Ireland acting on its behalf to conclude contracts.
How EisnerAmper Ireland Can Help
To make a definitive determination we would recommend consulting EAI’s specialist Corporate Tax team for expert advice.

Latest News →EisnerAmper Ireland staff attend CASSD Gala Ball 2019
The Chartered Accountants Student Society of Dublin (CASSD) hosted their annual Ball on Saturday, 9 March in The Ballsbridge Hotel. Sarah Ryan, a member of EisnerAmper Ireland’s International Business team, is currently Treasurer of CASSD and played a key role in organising the event, which is one of the biggest in the student calendar each year.
CASSD plays a vital role in the student body, providing a link between students and the institute as well as organising numerous events throughout the year.

EisnerAmper Ireland was delighted to sponsor staff tickets in addition to donating a spot prize for such a worthy cause.
The evening kicked off with a Prosecco reception, where attendees were greeted by a live saxophone player. The smooth jazz provided a welcoming and relaxed atmospheric back-drop as students took pictures next to a giant, illuminated flower wall.
In the dining hall, students were met by an extravagant ballroom with a goody bag full of treats on each chair. A raffle took place during the dinner with Michéal O’Cualain, a member of EisnerAmper Ireland’s Tax Team winning a Leinster Rugby Jersey, signed by the entire Leinster team.
