Dress Code A neat code of dress is required during working hours. A guide uniform is provided at certain sites. Otherwise, a guide uniform allowance may be payable where it is a management requirement that guides adapt a colour coded clothing regime. 8. Superannuation For a Seasonal Guide / Information Officer recruited before 1 January 2013, superannuation benefits are provided in accordance with the terms of the Non-Contributory Superannuation Scheme for Non-Established Civil Servants. Membership of the scheme is compulsory. The minimum retirement age at which pension is payable for members of this Scheme is 65 and compulsory retirement age is 70. This pension is integrated with the Department of Social Protection State Pension (Contributory), currently payable from age 66. The public service pension paid under this Scheme is based on the assumption that the individual will also receive the State Pension (Contributory) at the maximum personal rate on retirement. Where this does not occur, a Supplementary Pension may be payable on application by the retired member. There is no automatic entitlement and the onus is on the individual to apply. Staff appointed between 1 April 2004 and 31 December 2012 do not have a maximum retirement age. Staff appointed after 1 January 2013, unless they have previously been members of a Public Service Pension Scheme and have not had a break in service of greater than 26 weeks, will be automatically enrolled in the Single Public Service Pension Scheme. The minimum retirement age for Scheme members is in line with the age of eligibility for the Contributory Old Age State Pension, currently age 66. Membership of the scheme is compulsory and retirement is compulsory on reaching 70 years of age. Spouses’ and dependant children’s pensions are granted under the terms of the Contributory Scheme for the Spouses and Children of Non-Established Civil Servants. At the time of appointment, the employing Department or Office will determine whether the appointee is a new entrant in accordance with Section 2 of the Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004. Appointees will be required to declare any entitlement to a Public Service pension benefit from any other Public Service employment. 9.

Candidates on approved absences from other employment must ensure they are not impinging on their terms of absence by taking up a position with the OPW. Proof must be supplied to OPW.
