    any allowance held for over a year is reckonable for promotion.

    see circular 08/2019 revised arrangements for starting pay on promotion

    circular 08/2019 revised arrangements for starting pay on promotion states anyone receiving an allowances which the shift premium is will start on that point plus one on promotion.

    working overtime is not an allowance and cannot be compared in this instance

    no one should be without basic pay for 6 months. There is a delay with pay going from CO to EO but everyone still received their basic pay .Raise a compliant through NSSO and your pay will be sorted fairly quickly. They hate having complaints as it affect their stats. ,, ☺️

    Has anyone been allocated to social welfare? I’ve been allocated to them as EO and I’m wondering if flexi time and remote work is available? I still don’t know the location. I was transferred there after being provisionally allocated to another department.

    Don't know but you could give the local hr contact a ring and get an indication. Hopefully you get a nice convenient location.

    No, Six months to be upgraded from CO to EO pay. I assumed you were asking that. Otherwise its instantaneous, and you get next weeks payslip at the end of this week.

    @innocent_lover

    Circular 08/19 as you are over 12 months it says

    An officer who holds an allowance in the nature of pay at the time of promotion to a higher grade, including an allowance deriving from service as a Private Secretary, will enter the scale for the higher post at the more favourable of the following: 

    (i) Normal starting pay rules based on the officer's existing pay, exclusive of the  allowance; or 

    (ii) Where the allowance has been held for at least one year, the officer's existing  pay plus the allowance


    //


    It's taken into account unless you are being promoted to EO with allowance from what I can tel. Query it with your LHR or NSSO to confirm

    From working in social welfare. You could be waiting up to 9 months before you can get blended working. Flexi is available but only if you are in the office if your at home you don't get flexi

    Thank you. In that case I won’t be able to take the job. I need blended for personal reasons. I was originally allocated to another department that had remote working but they changed me. I’m not keen on the working conditions in social welfare.

    Unlike most allowances, Shift premiums are not taken into account for reckonable pay in a lot of civil service departments. The local HR unit will make the call on it. NSSO will simply follow their instruction.

    @Missy95 I wouldn't dismiss it just based on what people have said here. I know Social Protection is busy so it is likely you would be in the office a lot, but there are many different Social Protection offices around the country and they might all have individual policies. You'd be best trying to contact HR at their head office to get a better indication of what your situation might be and it would also give you the opportunity to say you would need blended working and you might have a clearer picture of things once you speak to them. While this forum is great and the people here might be right, a job is too valuable to give up if you're only going by what people have said here and not talking to HR in Social Protection themselves!!

    I agree. It's the biggest department. There will be so many teams/offices etc. I don't know how flexible they are in accommodating new starters but ask before you turn it down.

    I joined DSP two years ago from public service. Had worked in revenue as tco in my student days. Got EO within 9 months after encouragement from excellent HEO. Had gone on the mobility list early on, but dont think ill need it now. I wfh 4 days and have little contact with customers. The dept has the biggest number of staff, so promotion is easier. Mine was via two interviews, no tests. Staff are given plenty of opportunity to train and upskill. Should be an internal HEO comp due this year. So no complaints from me.

    That’s great to hear. Thanks. I was told DSP only allows one day WFH. I’d love WFH and preferably no contact with public!

    Hi,

    I currently work as an EO in the Public sector, and I recently received a start date for the civil service.

    Does my current public sector payscale transfer across to my new role with the Civil service?

    Thanks

    PAS told me I’d get blended when I was allocated but then DSP HR told me it’s 9 months before I’ll be considered for blended.
