I refer to our member email last September dealing with public service wide measures introduced in respect of public servants recruited after 1^st January 2011.

 

As you may remember from our previous email, these measures, arising out of the Public Service Stability Agreement, become effective on a public servants next increment date after 1^st March 2019.

 

In summary the changes mean that for future new entrants, points four and eight of the respective pay scale will be skipped.

 

For those currently in employment, at points three, four or five of their respective pay scale, they will ‘skip’ the next point on their incremental scale, at their next increment date, and will ‘skip’ point eight upon reaching that point. Those on point six will move to point nine at their next increment date after 1^st March, 2019.

 

For those currently on points one and two, they will ‘skip’ points four and eight upon reaching that stage.

 

The maximum point of the individual pay scales will remain in place and cannot be exceeded.
