The job
Unlike the UK, the Republic of Ireland has no statutory employers’ liability requirement. In practice that makes little difference on site: clients, main contractors and public bodies require EL cover by contract, and an uninsured employer who can’t meet a claim is a serious exposure. Tracking the certificate is how you keep the contract satisfied.
If a contractor brings their own employees on site, you want their in-date employers’ liability certificate on file, not last year’s. COI Tracker keeps each one a click away with its renewal date tracked automatically.
A renewal date in a spreadsheet is only as good as the person who remembers to check it. We send the reminder for you — weeks before, then again as the date approaches — so nothing depends on memory.
Typical vendors ireland employers’ liability track
No — unlike the UK, the Republic of Ireland has no law making employers’ liability insurance compulsory. But it’s required by almost every contract and main contractor, and going without leaves an employer exposed if a worker is injured and a claim follows. COI Tracker helps you keep every contractor’s EL certificate and expiry date on file — it does not provide the insurance or verify coverage.
Because your contracts require it even though the law doesn’t. Public bodies, main contractors and CIRI registration all expect proof of employers’ liability cover, and a lapsed certificate can put a contractor in breach. Tracking the expiry keeps everyone’s paperwork current without the manual chase.
Yes — record both certificate types against each contractor with separate expiry dates, and reminders fire independently before each one lapses. You can store professional indemnity on the same row too.
No. COI Tracker organises certificates and reminds you about their expiry dates — it does not verify coverage, assess adequacy, or provide insurance or legal advice. Always confirm cover directly with the insurer or broker.
Not legal or insurance advice. Verify your specific contract and policy requirements with a licensed broker or attorney.
