Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

The awarding of an increment in my Department is subject to staff being assessed, on a number of grounds set out in both Department of Finance Circular 09/1987, Increments and in Civil Service Conciliation and Arbitration Scheme, General Council Report 1452, Integration of PMDS with HR Policies and Processes. Subject to all of these conditions being achieved satisfactorily an increment may be awarded.
