Frequently asked questions
How much does an intern contract pack cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Do interns have to be paid in Ireland?
Interns who are employees are generally entitled to at least the national minimum wage and other employment rights. Some placements that form part of an education course may be treated differently.
Can graduate contracts include training repayment clauses?
They can, if reasonable and clearly agreed in advance. Your guidance notes explain what to consider.
