Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2015
302. Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of employees under his remit who are classified under a contract of indefinite duration; the number of these who are receiving incremental salary payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43273/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere are currently 34 staff members serving in my Department on contracts of indefinite duration, 23 temporary clerical officers (FTE 21.5) and 11 whole-time temporary veterinary inspectors (WTVI). The temporary clerical officers are in receipt of incremental salary payments in line with their terms and conditions of employment and the Haddington Road Agreement. WTVIs are contracted on a fee per test basis and therefore the issue of increments does not arise.
