Advertised salary

    I recently applied for a public sector job as a researcher - basically the funding is provided by Science foundation ireland and paid to a public body which then pays me.

    The advertised salary was around 38k whereas the contract I received last week said 32k. After a bit of telephone work I discovered that the advertised position included the pension contribution made by the employer and the PRSI paid by the employer. I then have to pay employee PRSI and pension contribution out of the remaining 32k leaving a salary of around 24-25k after tax.

    Has anyone experienced this before or has any advice? I've never heard of a job where the advertised salary included the employers contributions? I think if I leave at the end of the contract (temporary) I can claim the Pension contribution (minus tax on it) back?

    They can offer you 20k salary if they want. Regardless of what they advertised. If unhappy don't accept the contract or try and negotiate a higher one.

    Congrats on the job.
