Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
424. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the cost in 2013 and 2014 of issuing hard copy payslips to staff or retired staff by his Department and agencies under the control of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30050/15]
View answerThe Department of Health provides a shared payroll service to this Department and the majority of staff receive their payslips on-line. In 2013 and 2014 payslips were posted to 4 weekly paid staff and 2 fortnightly paid staff on a regular basis, as they had no access to the on-line payslip available on the Department's internal computer network. The estimated cost is approximately €215 in both years. As retired staff are paid by the Paymaster General, no payslips issued to them from the shared payroll service.
The information requested in respect of the agencies under my aegis is not normally held in my Department and I have asked my officials to arrange for the Child and Family Agency, The Adoption Authority of Ireland, The Ombudsman for Children's Office and the Children Detention Schools to supply this information directly to the Deputy.
