Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
992. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of persons employed by her Department and bodies under the aegis of her Department with a rate of pay below the living wage of €12.30; the role that those persons occupy within her Department or relevant body; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19636/22]
View answerEmployees of my Department are paid in line with Civil Service Salary Scales. These are most recently outlined in Circular 04/2022. The Department of Social Protection does not, at present, have any employees paid below €12.30 per hour. Hourly wages are calculated using the standard 37-hour Civil Service working week.
Neither the Citizens Information Board nor the Pensions Authority have any staff employed at an hourly rate lower than €12.30.
