IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Irish government updated the Atypical Working Scheme on Jan. 1, 2023.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The changes above apply only to the “general” category of AWS applications (including the entertainment, biotech, pharmaceutical and technology sectors) and will have no impact on applications to enter Ireland as frontline medical personnel or under other AWS categories.
BAL Analysis: Businesses may see a slight increase in labor costs because of the new minimum wage requirement for AWS workers. Individuals are reminded that the aforementioned changes only apply to applications received on or after Jan. 1, 2023. Any applications that were received before Jan. 1 will be assessed under the scheme’s previous criteria.
