    Hi

    I'm working part time for a quango and our pay is aligned to Local Authority pay scales. My gross for 2016 will be €22,840 before pension deductions.

    I was told that I would not be entitled to the increase outlined in the Landsdowne Road Agreement because I'm part time and my wage if I worked full time would be 30,740. But I don't work full time so does this mean I am not entitled to the increase? Very confusing.

    See below quote from Public Service Stability Agreement 2013-2018

    Q.3 What changes does the Lansdowne Road Agreement make to Pay?
    For the majority of public servants, in addition to the PRD benefits previously outlined, there is a significant reduction, weighted in favour of the lower paid, of the pay cuts imposed under the 2009 FEMPI legislation. These come in the form of increases in gross pay in 2016 for those on lower pay (up to €31,000) and in 2017 for all on pay up to €65,000.

    For any public servant whose annualised salary is below €24,001 there will be an increase in gross pay of 2.5% from 1 January 2016. For those on annualised salaries between €24,001 and €31,000 there will be an increase in gross pay of 1% from 1 January 2016. For all those on annualised salaries up to €65,000 there will be an increase in gross pay of €1,000 from 1 September 2017.

    Base Salary January 2016 September 2017
    Up to €24,000 2.5 per cent €1,000
    €24,001 to €31,000 1 per cent €1,000
    €31,001 to €65,000 No change €1,000

    Yes the agreement should read as applying to jobs at the fulltime equivalent salary rate


    therefore you are classed as being €30,740

    This is still under €31,000 though so you should be getting the 1% increase



    The reason for this approach is that someone in a job where it is full time of €50,000 but is working half time would get an increase but others doing same job full time wouldn't!

    Thanks a million risky, you've explained it in a way no one else has. I understand now.
