Note: NMAX = Normal Maximum. LSI = Long Service Increment.  LSIs were abolished with effect from March 2011.

The 38th Report of the Review Body on Higher Remuneration in the Public Sector in 2000, accepted by Government at the time, recommended that the pay of TD's should be linked to the Principal Officer grade in the Civil Service. This recommendation was based on their independent and expert consideration of the level of responsibilities and an appropriate pay analogue. That Review Body report also recommended that Senators be paid 70% of the TD rate.
