IMPACT has published short videos to explain two of the most frequently asked questions about the proposed Public Sector Stability Agreement (PSSA) – the changes to pension contributions and the proposed process to address the ‘new entrant’ issue.

Proposed Public Sector Stability Agreement: A Q&A about pensions was launched in late June. It sees IMPACT general secretary Shay Cody address common questions about what the proposed PSSA means for pension benefits, what happens to the pension levy, and how incomes will be affected.

Meanwhile, Irish public service new entrants pay scales - what happened before and what happens next  was published last week. It outlines the recent history of changes to new entrant pay scales in the public service and how, if accepted, the PSSA would address the remaining iniquities. This video is also available, with closed captions, on IMPACT’s Facebook page.

Both videos, along with comprehensive questions about the agreement and the current ballot are available here.

The ballot on the proposed agreement closes at noon this coming Friday, 14^th July. The result will be announced on Monday 17^th July.
