The legislation giving effect to the Scheme is the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012. For those not subject to the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, the Health Information and Quality Authority Superannuation Scheme will apply. Annual Leave Annual leave is 27 days, rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service. Hours of Attendance Hours of attendance will amount to not less than 35 per week. The appointee may be required to work additional hours as may be reasonable and necessary for the proper performance of duties, subject to working time regulations. Blended Working Arrangements HIQA has introduced blended working to offer more flexible working arrangements to all employees. The organisation aims to strike a balance between being flexible, efficient and resilient by facilitating blended working where practical, while enabling onsite interaction, collaboration and support as required. All roles in HIQA have been assessed under the criteria of business needs and role suitability for blended working. This determined the proportion of time that employees will spend working in HIQA offices and working from home, depending on their role. Depending on the role, there may be a requirement to attend the office for more than the allocated number of days for training and onboarding purposes at the start of employment and during the probation period. HIQA is moving from Interim Blended Working to a long term Blended Working Model. The existing policy and documentation will be revised and updated once the framework for the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act is published. The model is in line with the Civil Service Framework for Blended Working in Ireland Further guidance on HIQA’s Blended Working Policy, including eligibility criteria, will be issued to successful candidates.
