How do people feel about this one? Will it be short and sweet?

If you had say 32 back then and you're still in the same post then you still have 32 as personal to you.
If they are integrated...then why don't they integrated the full thing...
I thought ps pensions were index linked (back to pay of the current workers in the role) ..or is that just the non-oap bit?
Teachers would be public servants and have more than 30 days, no?
Im in education. I assume that rule simply doesn’t apply to me or any of my colleagues.
I think it was standardised across the public service

Has to be over 1 or 2 or inflation will outpace it again
I’m not a civil servant. I am a public servant. The 30 day cap doesn’t apply (I assume).
I thought there was a max in the CS of 30 days leave from the circular introduced back in 2013/14
As we are already 6.5% worse off when you compare the last deal to inflation, that is effectively 1.5% over 2 years. Not for me.
I do agree that 8% would probably sail through unfortunately.
I think 8% over 2 years would get it over the line. Under that I would vote no. I'd love to see 10% but I just don't think the government are going to put that on the table.
over 3 or 4 years ?
Thats my default position.
I'll be voting No on anything less than 10%.
Between inflation, being forced back into the Office to prevent a commercial office space crash, the scrotes getting everything for nothing, record company profits during crisises I'm done giving any leeway to the government.
How do I sign up? The most I'll ever get is 30.
Yeah, 36.
I carried 5 so I have 41 in 2024.
Extra time off isn't something I would care for in the new deal.
36?
As far as I can remember, that is the case but I am open to correction on that. I worked in HR as a CO pre-NSSO when departments own HR Units did these things. All probably done by NSSO now.
(eta) as an aside, interesting article on pensions here:
I find it amazing that they could meet 10 times before Christmas and not discuss pay and then the first time they meet after Christmas they are confident of concluding a deal within 24 hours.
Trying to avoid jumping to conclusions before any details are revealed but you'd be hoping that suggests that the government have made an offer of a sizeable pay increase that the unions are happy with and hopefully the only details to be ironed out is regarding the time frame of the increases. Here's hoping anyway.
Yes, they are integrated
Would I be correct in saying that post 95 PS retirees will in effect not receive the OAP increase (even though they get the OAP) - the occupational pension element will be reduced to bring the total pension back to 50% of final salary (for those with full service etc)?
Any sign of them rolling back the fempi productivity bullshit?
Irish Times - "Progress made in public pay talks with both sides believed to be nearing deal"
Looks like I want what you have 😊
Talk of a deal being reached in the next 24 hours.
Talks aimed at producing a new public sector deal made significant progress on Tuesday, with growing optimism on the union side that an agreement will be concluded in the coming 24 hours.
Wouldn’t be for me. I already get 36 and I don’t think I’ve ever taken them all.
more cash is all I want really.
You can have an opinion, but seeing as you have no vote, you won't be "accepting" anything.
Moving on...
Working doesn't appear to pay the bills either.....
Didn't say I was, and didn't say it was but I understand the basics behind trying to slow inflation and in our economy what is being suggested isn't feasible, IMHO, in the long run. You realise if only experts are allowed comment on anything this thread stops dead.
Annual Leave doesn't pay the bills.
Is there anything to be said for more annual leave? I'd happily take 5% over 2 years with an extra 10 days holidays.
I have an opinion. Its as valid as yours.
