Pharmaceuticals & Life Science
The Pharmaceutical and Life Science divisions have the high demand of requiring well-trained personnel, some of whom have many years of experience in specific areas of work or sub-areas. The search for a suitable candidate can be tedious and time-consuming, while vacancies remain vacant and the workload for existing employees is high.
If you are starting work as a contractor in Ireland, you’ll need to work within a Limited Company. You may set up your own Private Limited Company. However, there are alternative options.
The main alternative available is to work within an established Umbrella Company. This is a Limited Company that will issue invoices on your behalf and manage your salary payments and associated payroll taxes (PAYE, PRSI and USC). The Umbrella Company handles the administration, tax and salary payments, leaving you free to focus on your assignment.
This is often a preferred option for first-time contractors or for those expecting to contract only for a set period.
This is a flexible arrangement where you can work within a Limited Company structure quickly and easily and without the administrative burdens and responsibilities of running your own Private Limited Company.
There are circumstances when it is beneficial for a contractor to set up their own Private Limited Company. Bear in mind that this approach is more involved and there are administrative overheads associated with the running of the Company. You can’t simply walk away from your own Private Limited Company as soon as you stop contracting. However, there are benefits in terms of longer term personal financial management.
