Salary - PPC (Personal Pension Contribution) The weekly salary scale for this position effective from 1st March 2025 is as follow: €387.85, €407.01, €411.90, €426.06, €440.28, €454.52, €468.74, €482.96, €496.78, €510.62, €524.47, €540.65, €552.03, €573.46 (NMAX), €590.32 (LSI1), €598.05 (LSI2) Long service increments may be payable after 3 (LSI1) and 6 (LSI2) years satisfactory service at the maximum of the scale. The PPC pay rate applies when the individual is required to pay a Personal Pension Contribution (otherwise known as a main scheme contribution) in accordance with the rules of their main/personal superannuation scheme. This is different to a contribution in respect of membership of a Spouses’ and Children’s scheme, or the Additional Superannuation Contributions (ASC). A different rate will apply where the appointee is not required to make a Personal Pension Contribution. Hours of Attendance Formal hours of work do not apply to these duties. Permanent Survey Interviewers will be assigned a quota of weekly work on CSO household surveys which, on average over the period of a quarter, should not exceed 25.15 hours per week. Temporary Survey Interviewers will be assigned survey duties as required on a weekly basis. Workinghours for Temporary Survey Interviewers will depend on the number of households to be surveyed. Working patterns can be flexible but Survey Interviewers should be available to take on work at least 5 days on average per week outside of the headquarters which in respect of this employment is based in the Survey Interviewer’s home. The flexibility of the working hours is such that the Survey Interviewer is expected to work when potential respondents are available, and the Survey Interviewer will be expected to minimise unproductive work hours and journeys in this regard. Sunday working is not permitted in this employment. No additional payment will be made for extra attendance over and above 25.15 hours per week as the rate of remuneration payable covers any exceptional extra attendance liability that may arise from time to time. Survey Interviewers will be obliged to keep a record of the hours worked as outlined in the Organisation of Working Time Act, 1997 (Organisation of Working Time (Records) (Prescribed Form and Exemptions) Regulations, 2001.
