A different rate will apply where the appointee is not required to make a Personal Pension Contribution.

Prior to completion of the probationary period, a decision will be made as to whether or not an appointee will be retained pursuant to Section 5A(2) of the Civil Service Regulation Acts 1956-2005. This decision will be based on an appointee’s performance assessed against the criteria set out in (i) to (iii) above. The details of the probationary process will be explained to each appointee by the Courts Services as the employer and a copy of guidelines on probation issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will be provided. In the event that an appointee is not considered as suitable to the position of Judicial Assistant having been assessed against stated criteria, the appointee will be notified in writing of the action to be taken.
