2020 Executive Officer Civil Service

The interview is for Westmeath

Is anyone being called for interview for Tipperary? or waiting on their OOM to be called for a position?

@acawarrior Have you been called for interview?

Hi Folks

I went off to get clarity on our Pay rise – a Civil Servant going from Clerical to EO.

Re background to my query – I thought I was being put on the wrong point of the scale, so I queried it asking for clarity.

To quote from the NSSO email: -

If minimum of the EO salary scale isn’t greater than your current CO pay by an amount less than the first increment of the EO scale you are then placed on step 1 of the EO scale.

(iv) Where the minimum of the new salary scale is greater than existing pay by an amount less than the first increment on the new scale, the officer may enter the new scale at the minimum plus one increment.

 As the minimum of the EO salary scale wasn’t greater than your CO pay by an amount less than the first increment of the EO scale you were placed on step 1 of the EO scale.

I was happy with the explanation.

I hope this helps some folks – personally speaking, I was glad for the clarity.

One more thing – my query was dealt with promptly and the team in NSSO were professional and helpful.

There are still interviews and etrays happening from this campaign. They wouldn't be interviewing at this late stage if they were closing the panel. There is still another 2 months to run on it.

Anyone have an update for Galway ?

Anyone for Dublin hear any news recently?

I am in the upper part of batch 6 so I just seeing if anyone around there has heard back. I confirmed my interest for a interview a month ago.

Got the same message asking if I was interested in an interview, with a very short window to reply to same. Sounds as if there's a big push to try and get people into posts or envisaged posts.

Perhaps you didn’t highlight your preferred choice of location when submitting your application?

You would have been given an option to state maximum two preferred locations – i.e. Dublin and one other county. Or just state one preferred location.

If you are getting the email and you submitted your application two years ago, they could be just checking with you to see if your preferred location(s) are still the same.

Yeah I work in AGS as civilian. It’s grand, very interesting but just note that in AGS you aren’t guaranteed flexi and it can be different to other depts in that sometimes there’s no EO or HEO/AP .

I was posted to AGS when I first joined CS so I know no different but from chatting others in different depts we are definitely a little separate.

and there’s also the fact that there is a bill at the minute that the commissioner is trying to get through that would make Garda staff (Garda civilians) no longer a part of the CS but essentially members of the Garda force , bringing with it the loss of entitlements to mobility, interdepartmental transfers and promotions across the rest of the service.

Does anyone have an update on the Westmeath panel? Or any idea of how many people are waiting for an assignment? Just got interview results today and wondering if there is any hope of an offer before the panel closes

Did you get batch details or anything?

Anyone have a wait time between clearance being completed and being told your start date?

I will update as soon as I know. I am waiting 1 week so far, and the tracker says my garda clearance has not been processed yet. I submitted my garda forms last week.
