How umbrella contracting works in Ireland

Three parties, one simple flow. Here's exactly how money and paperwork moves when you contract through Paytube — you focus on the work, we handle everything in the middle.

Your agency
or client

You agree a day rate with the agency. They sign a contract with Paytube, not with you directly.

Pays Paytube
Invoice

Paytube

We invoice the agency, receive the payment, run your payroll, deduct the correct taxes, and file everything with Revenue.

Handles everything
Net pay

You

You submit your timesheet, claim your expenses, and receive your net pay on the same day we're paid. That's it.

Gets paid same day

Payslips & records

Digital payslips issued every pay run, stored in your online account.

PAYE, USC & PRSI

All deductions calculated and remitted to Revenue automatically.

Expense processing

Submit unlimited expenses online — we process and pay them out.

Contract management

We manage the contract relationship with the agency so you don't have to.

Ongoing support

Our Ireland-based team is on hand whenever you have a question.

Same-day payments

Your money moves the moment the agency pays — never held overnight.
