It is not possible to extract historical increment financial data from the system on a global basis for the years 2008 - 2011. Historic costs could be calculated manually on an individual basis but this would take a prohibitively long time. The number of increments awarded to staff in my Department, along with indicative approximate values of new increments paid, in each of the years from 2012 to date, is set out in the following table:

Increments are paid in line with the approved rates of pay at the time as outlined on the websites of the Department of Finance and Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and in line with arrangements in place under the Haddington Road Agreement since 1 July 2013. Those staff who have reached the maximum or long service increment point of their salary scales do not receive increments. The payment of increments is subject to satisfactory performance under the Performance Management and Development System (PMDS).
The corresponding information in terms of Agencies and Local Authorities is not held in my Department.
