Ireland's new employer workplace pension auto-enrolment scheme started on 1st January 2026.
Our intuitive rota software now includes automatic estimates of your employers contribution for eligible employees.
This ensures your projected weekly rota costs reflect as accurately as possible your expected gross payroll costs enabling you to plan rotas to manage and control these costs .
How it works
Gig Grafter automatically applies the appropriate Work Place Pension costs for both hourly paid and salaried staff.
Where an employee is aged 23 years or over and their gross weekly earnings exceeds €384.61, the software will automatically apply a 1.5% cost on their total earnings.
A Simple Example
Where an employee's gross earnings is €400 (40 Hours x €10 per hour) the gross payroll cost to the business is €441.60 once the employers contribution for WPP and PRSI are added.
Employers WPP Contribution
First €384.61 has €0 WPP applied
Employers WPP Contribution = €400 x 1.5% = €6
Employers PRSI Contribution
First €37.99 has €0 PRSI applied
Employers PRSI Contribution = x 9% = €35.60
Employee Date of Birth
By default the system assumes employees are over 23 years of age and applies the employers WPP contribution.
You can add the Date of Birth for each employee by editing their employees details. This will ensure that employees under 23 do not have the WPP automatically applied.
