Anyone out there familiar with sales jobs that can tell me what PA would mean on a job posting with regards to salary? If the salary indicates 35,000-45,000 (PA), would that be a base salary, or potential based on commission. Thanks!

PA generally refers to a Personal Assistsant or secretary, there would be no commission. Unless you have an EU passport you will need a work permit in order to work in Ireland work permits will not be issued for sales and secretarial/clerical jobs as both are in the ineligible categories, in other words, under no circumstances will work permits be issued in these skill categories.

Thanks. My husband will have a spouse/dependent work permit, piggybacking my green card. If I understand, there are not the same limitations on those work permits. Is that correct do you kow?

Yes, the spousal work permit has far fewer conditions in that:

1. It can be for any occupation (with a few exceptions)
2. No labour market test needs to be undertaken
3. Not having to pay the application fee (big bonus!).

I thought PA would mean Per Annum with regards to salary?

Emma you are right in certain contexts PA would mean per annum, I think I took it out of context. With regard to spousal work permits, yes there are fewer conditions but you still need a job offer and employers are becoming increasingly unwilling to process the paperwork required. Spouses are not entitled to a work permit, they are simply eligible to apply if they and their spouse fulfil certain conditions - no guarantees.
