The functions of Scope Section are to give directions and information on the insurability of employment in accordance with the law. Any person, business or their representatives may apply to have an employment investigated to make sure that the correct PRSI Class is applied. If you are unsure of your social insurance position, you should write to Scope Section (see below) and request a formal decision. Deciding Officers in Scope Section deal with the following types of questions: - whether employment or self-employment exists, - whether it is insurable employment, insurable occupational injuries employment (covered for Occupational Injuries Benefits only) or insurable self-employment, - what class of PRSI is due, and - in the case of employment, the name of the employer. Before this happens, a Social Welfare Inspector interviews the worker and a representative of the employer separately about the nature of the employment. When this investigation is finished, the Inspector submits detailed reports to a Deciding Officer in Scope Section for a formal decision. The Deciding Officer's decision is based on all of the available evidence and also on legal principles handed down in various court judgements over the years. (Some of these principles are outlined in the "Code of Practice for determining Employment or Self-Employment of Individuals").

Siad feidhmeanna na Rannóige Scóipe ná treoracha agus eolas um inárachaitheacht fostaíochta a thabhairt de réir an dlí. Is féidir le duine nó gnó ar bith nó a n-ionadaithe iarratas a dhéanamh um fhostaíocht a imscrúdú chun a chinntiú go gcuirtear an aicme cheart ÁSPC i bhfeidhm. Má tá tú éiginnte maidir le do stádas árachais shóisialaigh, ba chóir duit scríobh chuig An Rannóg Scóipe (féach thíos) agus cinneadh foirmiúil a iarraidh. Pléann Oifigigh Bhreithiúnachta sa Rannóg Scóipe le ceisteanna dá leithéid seo a leanas: - an bhfuil fostaíocht nó féinfhostaíocht ann, - an fostaíocht inárachaithe, fostaíocht inárachaithe um shochar díobhálacha ceirde (cumhdaithe um Shochar Díobhálacha Ceirde amháin) nó féinfhostaíocht inárachaithe atá i gceist, - cén aicme ÁSPC atá dlite, agus - i gcás fostaíochta, ainm an fhostóra. - Sula dtarlaíonn sé seo, cuireann Cigire Leasa Shóisialaigh agallamh ar an oibrí agus ar an fhostóir ar leithligh maidir le cineál na fostaíochta. Nuair a chríochnaítear an t-imscrúdú seo, cuireann an Cigire tuarascálacha mionsonraithe chuig Oifigeach Breithiúnachta sa Rannóg Scóipe um chinneadh foirmiúil. Tá cinneadh an Oifigigh Bhreithiúnachta bunaithe ar an fhianaise uile atá ar fáil agus freisin ar phrionsabail dlíthiúla a tugadh i mbreithiúnais éagsúla cúirte le blianta anuas. (Tá cuid de na prionsabail seo leagtha amach san "Cód Cleachtais do dheimhniú stádas fostaíochta nó féinfhostaíochta ag daoine ar leith") Má tá tuilleadh eolais uait, logáil isteach le do thoil ar www.welfare.ie nó déan teagmháil le: An Rannóg Scóipe An Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí Teach Oisín Sráid an Phiarsaigh Baile Átha Cliath 2 Guthán: 01 673 2585 (ó Phoblacht na hÉireann amháin), nó +353 1 673 2585 (ó Thuaisceart Éireann nó ón iasacht) Ríomhphost: scope@welfare.ie.
