The following is an example of some aspects of legislation in this area;

• The Payment of Wages Act states that every employee has the right to a written statement of wages to be inclusive of gross pay and subsequent deductions.
• All deductions should be either necessary by law, (for example PAYE and PRSI) or otherwise agreed between the employer and employee in a contract or written capacity (VHI payments for example).
• The act states that every employee has a right to a readily negotiable mode of wage payment.
