Freelance Contract Template for Ireland
Freelance contracts in Ireland must address worker classification carefully — the Code of Practice for Determining Employment or Self-Employment Status applies. The EU Platform Work Directive 2024/2831, once transposed into Irish law, will introduce a presumption of employment for certain digital platform workers.
Ireland-specific legal consideration
The EU Platform Work Directive 2024/2831 introduces a rebuttable presumption of employment for platform workers — Irish freelance contracts should clearly establish independent contractor status to rebut this presumption.
