How many more hours can you safely take?
Find out in two minutes, before you say yes to extra shifts. We check your payments, your medical card and any visa limits.
Nothing you enter leaves this phone
No name, no PPS number, no sign-up. Your employer never sees any of it.
Do you get a payment for caring for someone?
For someone in your own family, not your clients at work.
Do you get any other weekly payment?
Child Benefit doesn't count here.
Do you have a medical card or GP visit card?
Is your rent based on your income?
That's the case with HAP, a council home or a housing association home.
Each council sets its own rent rules. A housing association uses the council's scheme for your area.
Are you here on a student visa or a work permit?
Irish, UK and EU citizens: choose "Neither".
How many hours do you work in this job each day?
A usual week. Half hours are fine.
What do you earn an hour, before tax?
It's on your payslip as your hourly rate.
Would extra hours pay more? (Sundays, nights)Leave blank if they pay the same. Higher pay can reach a medical card or rent limit sooner.
Any other work, a course or training each week?All work counts towards hours limits, not just this job.
Who lives with you?
Only what changes the answer.
Couples who live together are taxed as two single people, so it changes your tax.
One-Parent Family Payment usually stops when the youngest turns 7.
A grown-up son or daughter, say. Their pay counts for your rent.
Rent you pay yourself (not the HAP part) and childcare both raise your limit.
Tell your coordinator, in one tap
You send it yourself. It says when you're free, never why.
Nothing is sent by us. WhatsApp or your messages app opens with the text ready.
