To ensure benefit equality, any benefits offered will apply to all team members in the country, providing consistent coverage and support across the team.

Health Benefits

Offering health insurance in this country is not mandatory, but providing these additional health benefits can greatly enhance the healthcare experience for employees by enabling access to a wider range of providers and specialists, as well as significantly reducing wait times.

When onboarding a new hire in Ireland, Remote offers the Local Standard and Local Premium plans.

The Local Standard plan provides extensive inpatient and outpatient coverage, including semi-private hospital rooms, emergency in-patient treatment abroad, psychiatric treatment, minor injury clinic cover, routine and non-routine dental treatments, vision coverage, and additional benefits like laser treatments and mental health support. The Local Premium plan enhances these benefits with more extensive outpatient services, additional dental and vision care, and higher coverage limits for various treatments.

Retirement & Pension

Remote offers a voluntary Defined Contribution (DC) pension scheme for employees. This scheme provides flexibility for employers to support their employees’ retirement savings through matching contributions.

Eligibility:

The pension scheme is voluntary for employers. However, once an employer opts in, it becomes mandatory for all eligible employees in that country. We’re excited to announce that starting January 2025, we’ll be offering two new alternatives that will enable the employer to contribute above the employee’s contribution.

Employer Contribution Options:

Employers can choose from the following contribution levels:

Match up to 1% of the employee’s gross salary
Match up to 3% of the employee’s gross salary
Match up to 5% of the employee’s gross salary (recommended as market practice)
Contribute 3% above the employee’s contribution (new), limited to 5% of the employee’s gross salary
Contribute 5% above the employee’s contribution (new), limited to 5% of the employee’s gross salary

Employee Contributions:

Employees can contribute an amount up to the employer’s matching or maximum contribution level. If employees wish to contribute more than the matching limit, they can do so via Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs).

Pension Management:

Employees can manage their contributions and track fund performance through an online platform, providing real-time insights into their retirement savings.

Tax Benefits:

Both employer and employee contributions are eligible for tax relief, subject to specific limits based on the employee’s age and salary.

Mental Health

Offering mental health benefits is not mandatory in this country, but providing the benefit can significantly enhance the emotional well-being and overall productivity of employees.

Remote offers a comprehensive employee mental wellbeing platform in partnership with one of the top-rated employee mental wellbeing providers. This platform is available on desktop and mobile apps and includes 1-to-1 therapy with a curated pool of top-quality therapists in over 35 languages. The advanced matching service finds each employee the right therapist within 48 hours, boasting a 98% success rate. Employees receive a personal wellbeing profile with tailored recommendations and information to track progress. The platform also offers a curated self-guided content library with audio mindfulness and meditation sessions, guided yoga videos, talks, podcasts on workplace wellbeing, and micro-learning content series for managers. Additionally, there are 24/7 mental health helplines for immediate support when an employee is struggling.

Mental health program benefits may be offered to the employees from among 5 different plans. Offering mental health benefits is optional, but it can greatly enhance employee well-being and productivity.

It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, mental health benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the benefit might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws.

When mental health benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective country.
