Executive Officer (Dublin) in the Civil Service 2023

hi everyone, just looking for a bit of help here in terms of moving from 1 department to another.
I’ve been given my start date by my new department so do I officially resign from current department or how do I go about it ? All I can find is information on resigning from Civil Service in general which obviously I’m not doing, thanks in advance.

thanks Jimbo 👍

Jimbo did you get the start date yet from Justice?

Just got called for interview, 2 weeks notice. I'm OOM 2308 for those close to this number.

how long were people waiting from being assigned to DOJ to getting a start date etc? Thank you in advance

With regards to your allowance/point on EO scale you would be put on: If promoted whilst in receipt of allowance you must be in continuous receipt of this allowance for over a year for it to be counted. You would either receive normal pay on promotion rules or the value of your current salary plus allowance value and be placed on an off-point on the EO scale; whichever is the greater of the 2. If option 2 is the better option then you would receive exactly what you are getting now with your salary plus allowance but a new increment date would be calculated where you would go on-scale to the next point on the scale.

With regard to being taken off the allowance before your promotion, I’m not sure on this but would highly recommend seeking further clarification before doing this, as if you’re not in receipt of the allowance for a year continuously prior to promotion it won’t count towards your promotion salary.

Not sure if any of this makes sense to you but hopefully it does.

you should jump to scale 2 of the EO. My friend came to my department as an EO, she was a CO in customs with shift allowance, she had to battle NSSO to get her to scale 2.

Anyone know how long Garda Vetting takes? Thanks

That’s not how it works at all read the pay on promotion circular it’s in there and NSSO is bound by the circular they can’t just bend things when officers disagree about the point they’re put on

Great to hear! No I'm starting in about 8 weeks.

the annoying part is I will have to attend the office everyday for a month or so for training, which is understandable I guess. Justice HR doesn’t know which unit I will be placed on yet, I presume it will be the International Protection Office.

@JJfd it's your official start date. 😃

Has batch 12 pre employment check started yet does anybody know ? Eagerly waiting in 1: …

does anyone know the salary scale for us starting EO in the coming weeks? Thanks in advance

For references, if the manager or anyone else you worked with no longer works in the company - whose details do you recommend giving? Has anyone had an experience with something similar to this? Thanks

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how long the pre-employment checks take to complete? I’m in the interdepartmental, I thought they only contacted my current line-manager?

Are people still mostly being appointed to Dept. of Justice?

Thanks!

4 months for me. There were many stages after that of providing documentation, checks and references etc. I think it typically takes a little less time for most (3 / 3.5 months).

Don't worry, same thing happened to me and they were lovely and flexible on the start date.

Does anybody know where they are with the OOM currently?

Does requests to retain speed up the process at all ? My department sent one to PAS for me
