2022 Executive Officer Civil Service

As far as I was told, after 3 months in the appeals office you get 1 day WFH. But there is an aim for that to move to 2/3 days WFH in the new year

So sorry to hear you don’t have blended. That’s crap. Yes I just started DSP. I have flexi but no blended for at least 9 months.

Anyone know who I should contact regarding my pay? Raised a ticket with NSSO and got nothing. Over a month as an EO, still on CO pay.

Colleague of mine was waiting 4 months for his EO pay to kick in. Huge backlog with People Point.

there is blended working in the appeals office after 3 months, and then in the new year they will be pushing more days from home.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes the personnel unit to contact you with a start date? I just received a notification today that I have been placed but the email said that personnel section would be in contact shortly with more information such as the area and start date.

Does anyone know if you are waiting for your EO salary to kick in. And in the meantime you reach the date of your co increment, if you will get the increment?

Anyone? heheheh Please🙏

I was in the same position and it is only 1 week as per your contract. I decided to see it out and pass the probation and left a couple of days after being there one year. I thought it would be better for a lot of reasons. Including if I ever went back to that department in future. Also make sure you don't put down the Friday on your notice if you are starting the Monday, put down the Sunday or it will count as you breaking your service.

You could be doing anything, depending on where you are appointed. HR, Finance Officer, managing evidence in a station, making sure pulse is updated correctly and all incidents are reviewed are just some of the possible roles. The work is so varied it's impossible to say until you know exactly where you're going, whether it's a station, specialist unit or headquarters in the Phoenix Park.

Thanks very much. What is worrying us is that we are moving to Roscommon town soon, and it would be great if he could work in a blended scheme basis. I am not sure if AGS has a blended scheme policy.

Help!!! I was offered my existing department on the interdepartmental. Rang PAS to say thanks but no thanks I’ll wait for the open. They told me if I turn this down I’m off both!?!? Is this true? I know people who have done this

If you are offered an EO role in open competition in a department you really do not want, do you have any right of appeal?

How do PAS allocate successful candidates to departments? If someone has loads of previous experience in Finance can you expect to be sent to Finance, Revenue, or Enterprise maybe? Or is it just luck of the draw... next up, next vacancy....

Thanks

If you turn down an offer you are taken off the panel.

Agree with this comment 100%......I can't understand why they don't try and match people for roles that they would be suitably qualified for and have experience in.
