Generate the National Employment Survey (NES) report as an XML submission file for upload to the Central Statistics Office
Description

The National Employment Survey (NES) report is designed to compile statistical employment information from businesses of more than three employees. The report must cover all payrolls belonging to the current company and be submitted annually to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) at the end of the calendar year.

If your business has been selected to participate in this survey, you must set up your payrolls for CSO reporting . Once set up you can then generate the NES report as an XML data file and upload it on the CSO website.
