Donegal Co Co Job - Salary Range

Dats_rite

On a job advert for the council it says the salary is:

The current annual payscale is €37,704 minimum to €59,259 maximum (LSI2).

What does this mean or how is your beginning salary worked out? Is it you start at the lowest ?

Prob means it's like teachers where you start low and go up a little every year

That's the Assistant Engineer pay scale*. 2.3k Point 2, a bit under 2k every notch after that; the Long Service Increment 1 is probably 10 years (12 for new entrant) and 15 (17) for LSI1. Increments bar the LSIs should be annual but can be slowed down in economic crises. Also if you're on a performance management programme they are usually suspended.

You have to enter at point 1 currently if you haven't worked in the non-commercial public sector before.

Next budget should, assuming the tax take slowdown we have currently doesn't get worse, delete the first two points and hike everyone up to at least 'point 3' which will become point 1 again; and the LSIs go back to the normal years which I am only guessing at.

You'll get a 1% raise on these in October across the board and 1.75% in September 2019 regardless of what happens.

*job may have nothing to do with being an engineer. I know of a public sector body that resurrected a 1980s mainframe operator job scale to be able to retain IT staff as the old IT scales were a joke....
