Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) It is a condition of the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement (ISER) as set out in Department of Finance Circular 12/09 that retirees under that Scheme are not eligible to apply for another position in the same employment or the same sector.

Pension payments will, however, be resumed on the ceasing of such employment or on the person's 60th birthday, whichever is later, but on resumption, the pension will be based on the person's actual reckonable service as a teacher (i.e. the added years previously granted will not be considered in the calculation of the pension payment).
