Just opened today! Anyone know what percentage of job offers are based outside Dublin just out of curiosity?
Did you have much of a fight to get your annual leave carried over? I have been offered EO and I am currently employed as an ASO in a local authority so I would be losing 7 days or so each year by taking this job...
Depends on section/unit. Some sections are in only one day a week, others are in 3. I think standard policy is 2 in/3 wfh.
There is flexi but you can only build up flexi-time based on time spent in the office as far as I’m aware - this differs from DSP who can build up flexi at home if WFH.
..
If you have leave booked such as Annual/Parental and you switch departments due to promotion, does the new department have to honour it or can they just turn around and tell you no, you can't have it on those dates?
Thanks a million, I’m in a department that’s WFH 3 days in 2, and can build flexi up at home and in the office so not looking forward to the change.
I currently work in DSP. We are currently unable to build up flexi at home. Only in the office.
anyone any idea when this competion ends. my sister is waiting to be placed but there are 4 ahead of her and she's panicking she won't get placed before completion ends.
As far as I'm aware it's June 2024. They are moving very quickly. Although it will depend on the county. I know of someone who had interview 3 weeks ago and results last week and heard this week and starts in 2 weeks
I posted this in the wrong thread. I thought this was the CO comp. apologies.
Anyone know for this comp can you decline an offer/assignment from PAS and be put back on the panel for another assignment?
Nope. It's a take it or leave it, come back next time kinda situation according to the booklet.
Might depend on section as I know two people in DSP that can build up time at home (they never stop rubbing it in!).
For anyone interested- Galway have called 42 on the Open and 19 on the Interdepartmental stream.
You can decline & stay on the panel if where you're offered is over 45km from your home. They'll check by your Eircode.
Anyone in batch 9 inter offered a post today
Just an FYI ref Tipperary and OOM - reached 19 on open panel and 2 for inter departmental for anyone interested
Cheers jkmanc1974, any update on Limerick? I’ve emailed PAS several times so I’m hesitant to email them again for an update.
Have asked them and will update once they come back to me. In my experience PAS are very good at dealing with queries- amazed how slow the panels are moving though, work in the DSP and they are desperate for staff
Edit - Limerick OOM 12 open 3 interdepartmental
9 months in and only 12 placed for Limerick is crazy - back in 2017 EO comp there were hundreds called to at least interview by that stage
The whole system is crazy slow. I placed in top 3 and 6 in my county choices and it took me 9 months to start my new position. I definitely think it puts people off trying, especially at the lower graded positions.
Has anyone joined FORSA for their probation year? They don’t seem much good. They have ignored all my emails.
Batch 9 past 100 for clearance, they’re moving fairly quickly through Dublin
Any idea how far past 100 they are by any chance?
Are the offers supposed to go in number order?
Any update on the Kerry panel
I would imagine so - unless they also do them in separate chunks and hand them off to staff - like batch 9 group 1 is 1-30, group 2 is 31-60. So depending on which member is doing what, some sub-groups might be getting called through faster than others? That’s entirely supposition on my part and not based on any information though.
Someone further down than me got an offer before me same batch 31-60.
Are you in the open and interdepartmental streams? If you are only in one that could be the reason for it, they may have filled the vacancy from the other interdepartmental stream...
No both in the interdepartmental thanks
Interview is tomorrow. People who've had theirs already did they ask you about all 6 competencies?
