Clarification must be sought from management where any doubt arises. Sick Leave: Sick leave with full pay may be allowed at the discretion of the Higher Education Authority in accordance with established procedures and conditions for the public service generally. Retirement and Superannuation: The appointee will be offered public service pension terms and retirement age conditions in accordance with pension arrangements in the Higher Education Authority depending on the status of the successful appointee: a) In general, an individual who has no prior pensionable Public Service history in the 26 weeks prior to appointment will be a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme (Single Scheme) which commenced from 1 January 2013 as per Section 10 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. b) An individual who is on secondment will remain a member of the pension scheme of the employer they are seconded from, and their pensionable remuneration will be based on his or her substantive grade, that is the grade at which the individual is employed in the organisation he or she is seconded from. c) An individual who was a member of a pre-existing public service pension scheme as construed by the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 and who does not qualify for membership of the Single Scheme will be a member of the HEA’s Staff Superannuation Scheme and Associated Spouses and Children’s Scheme. d) At the time of being offered an appointment, the Higher Education Authority, in consultation with the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform if necessary, will, in the light of the appointee’s previous Public Service and or other employment history, determine the appropriate pension terms and conditions to apply for the duration of the appointment.

Pension Accrual: A 40-year limit on total service that can be counted towards pension where a person has been a member of more than one existing public service pension scheme will apply. This 40-year limit, which is provided for in the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012, came into effect on 28 July 2012. This may have implications for any appointee who has acquired pension rights in a previous public service employment. Pension Abatement: The Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 extended pension abatement so that a retiree’s public service pension is liable to abatement on re-entering public service employment, even where the new employment is in a different area of the public service. However, if the appointee was previously employed in the Civil Service and awarded a pension under voluntary early retirement arrangements (other than the Incentivised Scheme of Early Retirement (ISER) or the Health Service Executive VER or VRS which render a person ineligible for the competition), the entitlement to payment of that pension will cease with effect from the date of reappointment. Special arrangements will, however, be made for the reckoning of previous service given by the appointee for the purpose of any future superannuation award for which the appointee may be eligible. Ill-Health Retirement: Please note that where an individual has retired from a Civil or Public Service body on the grounds of ill-health, his or her pension from that employment may be subject to review in accordance with the rules of ill-health retirement within the pension scheme of that employment.
