Revision of Atypical Working Scheme
Furthermore, the Irish government recently announced revisions to the terms and circumstances of the Atypical Working Scheme, which is a short-term contract dedicated to all non-EEA citizens who want to travel to Ireland for employment reasons.
Furthermore, the program permits non-EEA citizens, including locum physicians and persons on short-term contracts, to work lawfully in Ireland.
According to the Department of Justice’s recent revisions, the income level for this program was changed from the National Minimum Wage to correspond with the salary requirement for the General Employment Permit on January 1, this year.
As a result of the judgment, any firms intending to apply to assign personnel under this program must ensure that the minimum pay exceeds €30,000.
Authorities in Ireland also declared that, as a result of the new reforms that went into force last year, authorization under the Atypical Working Scheme will be granted for 90 days, reducing the waiting period.
Furthermore, it was specified that the 90-day term given under this program may be used to travel into and out of Ireland for a total of 90 days during a six-month period.
