The probationary contract will be for a period of twelve months from the date specified on the contract. During the period of your probationary contract, your performance will be subject to review by your supervisors to determine whether you: (i) have performed in a satisfactory manner (ii) have been satisfactory in general conduct (iii) are suitable from the viewpoint of health with particular regard to sick leave. Prior to the completion of the probationary contract a decision will be made as to whether or not you will be retained pursuant to Section 5A(2) Civil Service Regulation Acts 1956 to 2005. This decision will be based on your performance assessed against the criteria set out above. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs in this section, the probationary contract may be terminated at any time prior to the expiry of the term of the contract by either side in accordance with the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts 1973 to 2005. In the following circumstances your contract may be extended and your probation period suspended: • The probationary period stands suspended when an employee is absent due to Maternity Leave or Adoptive Leave. • In relation to an employee absent on Parental Leave or Carers Leave, the employer may require probation to be suspended if the absence is not considered to be consistent with the continuation of the probation. • Any other statutory provision providing that probation shall: (i) stand suspended during an employee’s absence from work, and (ii) be completed by the employee on the employee’s return from work after such absence. Where probation is suspended the employer should notify the employee of the circumstances relating to the suspension. All appointees will serve a one year probationary period. If an appointee who fails to satisfy the conditions of probation has been a serving civil servant immediately prior to their appointment from this competition, the issue of reversion will normally arise. In the event of reversion, an officer will return to a vacancy in their former grade in their former Department. Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2015 The Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977 to 2015 will not apply to the termination of your employment by reason only of the expiry of this probationary contract without it being renewed. Duties You will be required to perform any duties appropriate to your grade which may be assigned to you. You may not engage in private practice or be connected with any outside business which would interfere with the performance of official duties. Headquarters An officer’s work base will be such as may be designated from time to time by the Head of the Department or Office. When absent from home and designated work base on duty an officer will be paid appropriate travelling expenses and subsistence allowances, subject to the normal Civil Service regulations. The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 The terms of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 will apply to your employment and the hours of attendance and leave entitlements that will apply are outlined below. Hours of attendance Hours of attendance will be fixed from time to time but will amount to, on average, not less than 41 hours and 15 minutes gross or 35 hours net per week. There will be a requirement to attend after office hours on occasion, for example when visiting IRCG station houses and briefing IRCG Volunteers. Where extra attendance is necessary, payment or time off in lieu may be allowed in accordance with Civil Service regulations. Annual Leave The annual leave is 29 days. This allowance is subject to the usual conditions regarding the granting of annual leave in the Civil Service, is based on a five day week and is exclusive of the usual public holidays. Sick Leave Pay during properly certified sick absence, provided there is no evidence of permanent disability for service, will apply on a pro rata basis in accordance with the provisions of the sick leave circulars.
