Pay scales for members of the Local Government and Local Services Division have been updated on the Fórsa website to reflect the fifth income adjustment under the Public Service Stability Agreement (PSSA). The 1.75% adjustment, which came into effect on 1st September 2019, applies to most local authority staff.

The deal, which was negotiated by Fórsa and other unions in 2017, will next deliver a 0.5% pay adjustment for those earning under €32,000 a year in January, and a 2% salary adjustment for all those covered by the agreement in October 2020. Another adjustment in the pension levy threshold is also due next year.

The Municipal Employees’ Division salary scales are currently under development.

A summary of the full terms of the PSSA agreement is also available on the website. The full schedule of past and future income adjustments under the PSSA is available below.
