Executive Officer Campaign 2016

megger

Has anyone heard about Wexford or Wicklow? I'm top 5 for Wicklow and top 10 for wexford but haven't heard anything since May when I was told my place on each panel. The waiting is killing me!

Guys does any currently serving Civil Servants know what pay scale you start on the EO salary scale? I'm a CO for 10 years so my current salary would be more then the starting pay for an EO?? I'm assuming we don't take a pay cut??

Steph85 - my understanding is that you will transfer onto the next scale just higher than your current scale - therefore you will not lose money and will only get a slight increase really! I am open to correction on this but it is what my local EO told me recently.

Thanks that's the same answer my EO gave me too but she said she wasn't 100% sure. That's fine! Thanks a mill!!

It depends if the appointments are from the inter-d or the open panel, I am not 100% sure if the Interdepartmental stream of this campaign is considered a 'confined' competition or not (Like an internal promotion would be). My understanding of starting pay on promotion is as follows (open to correction)

Promotion through an open competition the options are A) First point of new scale or existing pay (including any accrued increment) whichever is more favorable

Through confined competition A) First point of new scale or existing pay (including any accrued increment) plus an immediate increment on the new scale whichever is more favorable

That is the Pre 95 scale (anyone who joined the civil service before 1995 and are a B rate PRSI).

For anyone after 1995 the scale is
€28,739 €30,712 €31,821 €33,687 €35,360 €36,977 €38,588 €40,166 €41,760 €43,311 €44,909 €45,967 €47,473¹ €48,975²

Stephr85 - see post above on how starting pay on promotion is calculated, it is likely an officer will be 'off point' for a period of time if the scenarios above leave you between points on the EO Scale and then you go 'on point' after a certain amount of time.

New Interdepartmental HEO announced. You need to have 2 years service by or on the 5/9/2017. I would have that on the 14/9/2017. Very frustrating.

Where is this advertised? I'm an existing Civil Servant but I haven't seen it advertised yet.

Just the usual "must have management experience, can't be on probation etc."

Literally 10 minutes after posting I got a call. Got Garda civilian. Apparently the clearance is longer than most. Has anyone got any idea what is involved in a job in this department.

Congratulations! A few more retirements and I might get a call too.

Steph, where I work (la), you would be put on the point nearest but not below your current pay, plus one increment on the new scale. So if your pay was 33,857 for example, you would be put on 36,977.

Does anyone know what the status is for the Limerick panel? How many have been contacted or placed? I'm in the top 25 for limerick - wondering if I will realistically ever get a job out of all this? Thanks.

When I rang 2 weeks ago they had placed 4 in limerick. I am no7 but will be turning it down when they rang

I haven't seen anything about this. It seems strange they would have a new competition running when they only interviewed people last week for the previous competition?

I just looked on Public jobs website and don't see it either, maybe it will make it's way around as the day goes on. I won't have two years service until Jan 18 so wouldn't be eligible unfortunately. It's not 2 years since they began the last competition, the closing date for that was April last year.

Here's HEO link

So we have all just been assigned to EO positions would that make us eligible to apply? I have the service so that part is fine.

I just got called for EO interview! 5th September.
Straight away I have questions. They asked for this: (a) The original version and 1 copy of the educational qualifications under which you claim eligibility for this competition (if applicable).
I'm not sure if I need to bring this with me or not.

You are eligible once you have 2 years service done in CS. I'm not actually eligible but linked it for those that are

Thanks Bubbles4you and CrunchyMomma,
Its a bit weird - number 8 called and not number 4... and this is open panel?
Happy Days
Come on Galway! (and i dont just mean hurling!!!)
I could commute to westmeath alright but am within easy distance of that new regional garda station going up on the east side of the city... and yes they will need EOs. So says my friend who is an EO herself
Wishing everyone the best of luck.... i think we all deserve medals...
