3. ABOUT THE SURVEY
The information provided in this document constitutes a guide to salaries being paid against
particular job titles/functions, by region, at the time the guide was published. The figures shown
are in SHU DQQXP 7KH JXLGH SURYLGHV DQ LQGLFDWLRQ DJDLQVW HDFh listed job function, of the
average we have seen being paid to such individuals coming onto our database within the
preceding 6 months. It is not a formal survey and does not detail variances between sectors,
company size or industry. These variances can be inferred from salary spreads e.g. in general
terms an MIS manager in a very small company may be earning towards the lower end of the
scale whereas the same role in a huge multinational corporation may attract much more in the
way of salaries and benefits. The titles would be the same.
Manpower Ireland and Elan IT provided the Information Technology salaries. Elan IT is the IT arm
of Manpower in Europe.

16. Benefits
The provision of a comprehensive benefits package to staff has become almost standard, in all
industries and is a means of attracting and retaining top talent. Benefits range from region to
region and from industry to industry.
The main benefits that are across the board range from the following:
œ Full medical cover, (BUPA or VHI) *
œ Participation in a defined contribution pension scheme, (up to 15% of gross annual salary) *
œ Life Assurance (4 times annual salary) and in many cases permanent health insurance *
* Benefits are usually offered after the 6-month probationary period and backdated to start date.
In addition to these standard benefits, employers are increasingly seeking to reward high
performance with attractive bonus schemes, which can range from 10% of salary to in some
cases 100% of salary.
Educational assistance programs exist in virtually all companies but there are many diverse ways
in which this can feature, from fully subsidising an educational program to refunding fees on
successful completion of exams. Some companies allow a certain period of time for their
