Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
616. D'fhiafraigh Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív den Aire Oideachais cén fáth nach bhfuil múinteoir meán scoile (sonraí tugtha) ar an scála pá do mhuitnteoirí a thosaigh ag obair roimh 2011 ó tharla gur oibrigh sé mar mhúinteoir i scoil i 2010; agus an ndéanfaidh sí ráiteas ina thaobh. [37674/23]
View answerBa dheas liom a chur in iúl don Leas-Phríomhoide go bhfuil scálaí pá coigeartaithe i bhfeidhm le haghaidh iarrthóirí nua sa tseirbhís phoiblí, lena n-áirítear múinteoirí, le héifeacht ón 1ú Eanáir 2011.
Tá na rátaí nua i bhfeidhm do gach múinteoir a ceapadh, ar, nó i ndiaidh an 1ú Eanáir 2011.
Nuair a bhí seirbhís mhúinteoireachta ag duine, i bpost múinteoireachta aitheanta, in Éirinn, roimh an 1ú Eanáir 2011, níl sé/sí ceaptha le bheith mar cheapaí nua sa mhúinteoireacht agus féadtar é/í a cheapadh ar an scála roimh Eanáir 1 2011.
Mar sin féin, nuair a thugann duine faoi obair ionadaíochta ag an ráta pá neamhcháilithe, sular chláraigh siad leis an gComhairle Mhúinteoireachta mar mhúinteoir iar-bhunscoile cáilithe, ní áirítear é seo mar réamhsheirbhís i bpost múinteora cáilithe aitheanta.
Dearbhaím go ndearna m’oifigigh seiceáil ar an bpost leis an bhfostóir atá aige faoi láthair agus féadtar liom dearbhú go bhfuil an múinteoir seo íoctha ar an scála pá ceart toisc go bhfuil sé cláraithe mar mhúinteoir Iar-Bhunscoile cáilithe ó 2016, agus is í sin an chúis go bhfuil sé íoctha ar an scála i ndiaidh 2011.
I wish to advise the Deputy that revised pay scales have been in place for new entrants to the public service, including teachers, with effect from 1 January 2011.
The new rates have applied to all teachers who are appointed, on, or after 1 January 2011.
Where a person had teaching service, in a recognised teaching position, in Ireland, before 1 January 2011, he s/he is not regarded as a new appointee to teaching and may be appointed to the pre January 1 2011 scale.
However, in circumstances where a person may have carried out some substitute work at the unqualified rate of pay, prior to them being registered with the Teaching Council as a qualified post primary school teacher, this is not counted as prior service in a recognised qualified teaching position.
I can confirm that my officials have checked the position with this teacher's current employer and I can confirm that this teacher is being paid on the correct pay scale because he was only registered as Post Primary qualified from 2016, which is why he is paid on the post 2011 scale.
