If you do not contact Revenue, you will be subjected to emergency tax.

In such cases, Revenue will assign temporary credits and cut-off points for the initial two months of work within a calendar year.

Subsequently, you will face taxation on all earnings at the elevated rate of 40%, in addition to USC at 8% and PRSI at 4%.

Furthermore, Revenue will reclaim the temporary credits for the initial two months.

It is crucial to promptly contact Revenue to prevent prolonged taxation at the higher rate and facilitate the correct application of tax credits.

Payments are processed on the 15th of every month, covering the hours worked in the preceding calendar month. For instance, any days worked in November are scheduled for payment on December 15th. In the event that the 15th falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, payments are executed on the subsequent working day.

Payslips are distributed to all locums via email once the payments have been processed.

No, we do not make any additional deductions; only the necessary tax deductions are subtracted from your wages.

Are locums protected by the insurance of the host pharmacies during locum assignments?

We acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances may arise, requiring a Locum to cancel a confirmed booking. In such cases, it is crucial to inform all involved parties and provide a valid reason for the cancellation.

Cancelling bookings due to finding a more favourable opportunity is deemed unprofessional and may create the perception of unreliability. This behaviour can also impact your ability to secure future bookings at the same location. It is advised to thoroughly check your work and personal schedule before confirming bookings to minimize cancellations.

Please note that a minimum of 48 hours' notice is required for cancellations. If less than 48 hours' notice is provided, MployusPharma reserves the right to deduct any additional costs incurred in arranging an emergency locum in your stead.
