SFA welcomes 'necessary' Budget adjustment; INMO 'reach end of the road'

The Small Firms Association have welcomed the fact that the Government has not increased the direct cost of employment to employers, but expressed concern at the elimination of the employer redundancy rebate.

“The small business campaign against proposals from the Department of Social Protection to pass on the cost of the first 4 weeks of sick pay to employers, to increase employer’s PRSI, and to introduce mandatory employee pension provision has been very successful," SFA chairman AJ Noonan said.
