Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2023
183. Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Education if access to a payslip for teachers requires the teacher to have a Public Services Card; her views on whether access to a person's own payslip is not a public service; the reason for the requirement for a PSC; and if access will be made available without having to have a PSC. [20767/23]
View answerI wish to inform the Deputy that pay slips are made available to teachers in two ways, firstly in paper format and secondly by accessing the pay slip electronically via the Digital Post-box.
The Digital Post-box service is available to individuals that wish to receive their communications from public service bodies electronically. This is a service offered on an opt in basis.
Access to electronic pay slips via the Digital Postbox was made available to primary school teachers on 27th April 2023 and will be available to post primary school teachers on 18th May 2023.
Any teacher who do not wish to avail of this service, can continue to receive a paper pay slip and are under no obligation to create an account or have a PSC.
