Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
555. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Health to set down the cost in 2013 and 2014 of issuing hard copy payslips to staff or retired staff by his Department and agencies under the control of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30057/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe majority of staff in my Department (97.5%) receive their payslips on-line. Payslips are posted to 5 weekly paid staff and 4 fortnightly paid staff as they have no access to the on-line payslip available on the Department's internal computer network. During the year, on request, payslips may also be posted to those availing of the Shorter Working Year. The estimated annual cost in 2013 and 2014 was approximately €300.
Operational matters relating to Commercial and Non-Commercial Agencies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the relevant Director / CEO / Registrar, and as such, the Deputy may wish to contact these agencies himself.
With regard to HSE staff, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
