6.5% pay rise for public sector workers in Ireland

[Yourhamsterisnonbinary]

Anyone else in line for this? Will we get a lump sum of the 3% backdated from February? When do you think we'll get it?

Who knows?! The boffins in Dept. of Ed. who run payroll have yet to figure out how to change their payroll system to include the pay-rise. They've their fingers crossed for before Christmas, but no promises 🤡🤦🏻‍♀️ I can't understand it myself, considering the don't answer the phone and take a week to reply to emails, they have 100s of man hours to sort it out.

Really hoping for November 😵‍💫 so many people looking forward to it. One of my friends is counting on it for her oil bill.

Fórsa have said that it's expected over the November/December period. I suppose it depends on how efficient the payroll department is in your organisation. I think we're getting something at the end of October from the previous agreement.

The HSE are getting

1% backdated to 1st February
3% backdated to 2nd February
1% from 1st October.

The plan currently for HSE is to update the pay scales first and then issue back payment.

If you are on the automated payroll East, SW etc it will be smooth, other areas will be manual.

The October is from the previous deal but it cannot be implemented until the pay scales reflect the February increases.

Right now HSE is still using the October 2021 pay scale.

The plan is to have it paid out this year.
