New Staff FAQs

Blended Working Equipment

How do I get blended working equipment for an existing or new staff member?

Home or office working equipment should be procured at departmental level. For information about recommended hardware, please go to Top Desk then click on My Workstation: Computers and Laptops.

The staff member may also require a chair, which the line manager can also order directly from our supplier Pelko who are now doing home deliveries. View the approved chair options by following this link to Pelko and email info@pelko.ie to order. 

If there are other more non-standard queries, please log a call on TopDesk – https://ul.topdesk.net 

If you cease as an employee of UL, any equipment in your care remains the property of the University unless a sale of asset is agreed to which a Sale of Asset form is then completed.

Anybody who takes a piece of equipment with them when moving from one department to another should complete a relocation form.

Both forms are available here available on the Finance website

 

How do I apply for Tax Credits?

How do I apply for Tax Credits?

In order to deduct the correct tax from your salary, you will need to apply for a Certificate of Tax Credits (Form 12A).  Please go to www.revenue.ie to download the Form 12A. 

The Form 12A should be submitted as soon as possible to minimise the risk of ‘emergency tax’ at 42%.  Emergency tax is applied in cases where your tax credits are unclear.  If emergency tax is initially applied, the appropriate reimbursements will be made to you as soon as your tax situation is clarified.

Both the employee and the University of Limerick will be notified of tax credits.  The University will make the necessary tax deductions from your salary.

Required information to complete Form 12A
