Pay scales have been updated on the Fórsa website to reflect the third income adjustment under the Public Service Stability Agreement (PSSA). The 1% adjustment, which came into effect on 1st January 2019, applies to civil and public servants who earn less than €30,000 a year.

 

Those earning over €30,000 will instead benefit from a reduced contribution to the ‘additional superannuation contribution,’ which replaced the so-called ‘pension levy’ under the PSSA.

 

Certain pension payment anomalies have also been addressed. For instance, workers no longer pay the additional contribution on unpensionable income, including unpensionable overtime payments. You can read more about this month’s improvements under the PSSA here.

 

The Health and Welfare Division salary scales have now been revised on the union’s website, which also carries an updated summary of the full terms of the PSSA agreement.

 

Communications officer Niall Shanahan said a number of other new pages have also been added to the site in recent weeks, including details of Fórsa membership benefits, travel and subsistence rates and rights at work.

 

“Most recently we’ve added a Fórsa officers’ page and material on the school secretaries’ equality campaign,” Niall said.
