333. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 1 May 2014, the reason a person who was on full payment is not entitled to the holiday accumulated during their suspension and also the week worked in lieu of leave in September-October 2011 (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20839/14]
View answerFurther to Parliamentary Question No. 72 of 1 May 2014, the person concerned was suspended on full pay while being investigated under the Civil Service Disciplinary Code. Based on advice from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, an officer while suspended with pay does not accrue an entitlement to Annual leave. All pay and entitlements due to the person concerned were paid at the time of their dismissal. The person concerned received their normal salary in respect of each week worked during September and October 2011.
