Different terms and conditions may apply if you are a currently serving public servant. Subject to satisfactory performance, increments may be payable in line with current Government policy. Payment will be made monthly in arrears by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) into a bank account of your choice. Payment cannot be made until a bank account number and bank sort code has been supplied on appointment and statutory deductions from salary will be made as appropriate. You will agree that any overpayment of salary, allowances, or expenses will be repaid by you in accordance with Circular 07/2018: Recovery of Salary, Allowances, and Expenses Overpayments made to Staff Members, Former Staff Members, Pensioners. Tenure and Probation The appointment is on a temporary fixed-term contract for a period of up to 3 years from the date of appointment. The successful candidate will be required to undergo a probationary period of 6 months. The appointment is subject to termination at any time by either side in accordance with the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts 1973 to 2005. In the case of serious misconduct, the employment may be terminated at any time without notice and without penalty. The appointment, which is strictly temporary, carries with it no entitlement to permanent status (by way of limited competition or otherwise). Headquarters The successful candidate will be based at the Commission offices, currently at Styne House, Hatch Street, Dublin 2 or at another place, should the Commission move its offices. When absent from home and the Commission’s offices on duty, the successful candidate will be paid appropriate travelling expenses and subsistence allowances subject to normal civil service regulations. Retirement and Superannuation The successful candidate will be offered the appropriate superannuation terms and conditions as prevailing in the Civil Service at the time of being offered an appointment. In general, an appointee who has never worked in the Public Service will be offered appointment based on membership of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme (Single Scheme). Full details of the Scheme are at www.singlepensionscheme.gov.ie . Where the appointee has worked in a pensionable (non-Single Scheme terms) public service job in the 26 weeks prior to appointment or is currently on a career break or special leave with or without pay, different terms may apply. The pension entitlement of such appointees will be established in the context of their public service employment history. Key provisions attaching to membership of the Single Scheme are as follows: • Pensionable Age: The minimum age at which pension is payable is the same as the age of eligibility for the State Pension, currently 66. • Retirement Age: Scheme members must retire on reaching the age of 70. • Career average earnings are used to calculate benefits (a pension and lump sum amount accrue each year and are up rated each year by reference to CPI). • Post retirement pension increases are linked to CPI.
