I need your Employer / VAT number for Revenue

The Pharmaconex employer number is: 9690580E

If you have not allocated any tax credits to Pharmaconex, you will be liable for tax on all earnings with us at the higher rates:
40% PAYE, 8% USC, and 4% PRSI (where applicable).

If you wish to allocate some, or all of your tax credits to Pharmaconex, you will need to contact Revenue to do so. The quickest way to do this is through MyAccount on the Revenue website.

*How do I allocate my tax credits correctly? *

To ensure your tax is calculated correctly you must ensure your tax credits are allocated accordingly.

  • If Pharmaconex is your only employer, you should allocate all your tax credits to it
  • If you are working with other companies also you may wish to divide your credits. Revenue can advise as to how best to divide your credits
  • If you do not wish to allocate tax credits to Pharmaconex, you should still contact Revenue to register your employment with us, to avoid emergency tax.

You can either ring your local tax office www.ros.ie/wiclo or enter the details via MyAccount on the revenue website.

Payments are made on the 15th of each month, for hours worked in the previous CALENDAR month. For example, any days you work in November are due for payment on December 15th. If the 15th falls at the weekend or on a bank holiday, payments are made the following working day. Payslips are sent out to all locums via email.

No, we do not, only the necessary tax deductions are made from your wages.

Please provide your bank details to Stuart Brown

We understand that from time to time a Locum may need to cancel a confirmed booking due to unforeseen circumstances. If you do need to cancel you should contact a member of the Locum Team by telephone and you should offer a valid reason. If you know of anyone that can cover the booking on your behalf, please let us know.

Cancelling bookings because something better came along is unprofessional and can make you appear unreliable. This can also make it harder for you to secure a booking  in the future. Please ensure to check your work and personal schedule before confirming bookings, to avoid cancellations.

*48hrs minimum notice is required for cancellations. Where less than 48hrs notice is provided Pharmaconex reserve the right to deduct any extra cost incurred to place an emergency locum in your place.
