171. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science when outstanding claims for incremental credits will be finalised in the case of a person (details supplied) given that this matter has been ongoing for some time; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47001/21]
View answerClaims for incremental credit pertaining to the personal salary of an employee is a matter for the employee concerned and their employer, Louth Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB).
The criteria required to have incremental credit awarded to primary and post-primary school teachers is set out in the Department of Education and Skills Circulars 10/2001, 29/2007 and 29/2010. The terms and conditions set out in these circulars were agreed under the auspices of the Teachers' Conciliation Council (TCC).
I understand from LMETB that the staff member referred to by the deputy has been working to progress this query in conjunction with the HR Department of LMETB. LMETB HR department continues to work on this matter as an active case and are liaising in this regard with the staff member concerned.
