In Q4 2024, €26.4 billion was compensated to employees of Irish-owned enterprises, while €12.5 billion was paid to those employed in foreign-owned enterprises.

Foreign-owned enterprises are identified by using institutional sector codes which are outlined in The European System of Accounts. Institutional units are any unit that has autonomy of decision and/or a complete set of accounts. Foreign controlled enterprises are any unit with the following institutional sector code: S.11003, S.12203, S.12303, S.12403, S.12503, S.12603, S.12703, S.12803 and S.12903. The foreign/domestic split is calculated using PMOD company level data.

An estimate of jobs in foreign-owned enterprises is given in table 7.6. This estimate is derived from payroll records in the Revenue PAYE Modernisation file and gives an approximation of aggregate jobs in the foreign-owned sector. A preferred analysis of jobs is to look at the churn rate. The CSO publishes an analysis of labour market churn each quarter which better tracks the movement of employment and jobs across time and economic sector (see: Labour Market Churn Q2 2024 - Central Statistics Office).

₁Compensation of employees is defined as the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an employer to an employee in return for work done. Compensation of employees is made up of the following components: (a) wages and salaries and (b) employers’ social contributions.
²Jobs refer to the provision of labour for the production of goods and services in return for compensation. PAYE jobs here are the subset of total jobs that are visible in payroll records filed with the Revenue Commissioners; that is, legal contracts of employment subject to PAYE. The same set of payroll records from the Revenue PAYE Modernisation (PMOD) file used in the calculation of compensation of employees have been used here for calculating jobs. See background notes for more information.
