Three steps to full pay restoration
The Public Service Stability Agreement which you are now being asked to consider arose from determined efforts to secure an accelerated clear path to full pay restoration and to win commitments on job security for our members in the health service.
The agreement, endorsed by SIPTU National Executive Council, provides increases in pay for many and puts money back in the pockets of the lowest paid health workers providing essential frontline health services. The agreement also provides job security with no compulsory redundancies and maintains a strong defence against the threat of privatisation.
- The first step secures an increase in pay between 7% and 9% over the course of the agreement from January 2018. One full year ahead of schedule.
- The second step allows for non-pensionable pay to be totally exempt from the Pension Related Deduction (PRD) for example: overtime, premiums and allowances.
- The third step increases the threshold for the deduction of PRD on pensionable pay from €28,750 to €34,500. This will leave many SIPTU members in support grades completely exempt from PRD.
These three steps combined complete our journey out of FEMPI and puts more pay back in your pocket.
