I have seen flexibility in terms of the point on the payscale at which the person comes in.
How does your pension work? You've been paying for a PRSI pension for 20 years. Does that give you more years in your PS pension?
However, would anyone know whether allowance or credit is given to number of years experience in the private sector in the same field.
Or would a 25 year old and a 45 year old (with 20 years experience) both start on the bottom of the pay scale?
Okay so you get whatever State pension you worked up in the private sector and then a separate pension from the State based on your public sector service?A PS pension does not work like that.
It is a little more complicated than this simplification, especially in the Single Scheme, but if you work for 20 years in the PS then the PS pension implicitly assumes that you will have this same portion of the State Pension, ie, 50% of State Pension. You public service occupational pension will then be 20/80 of pensionable salary minus 50% of State Pension (again it it is both more complicated and less generous than this in the Single Scheme).
Of course, if you have worked elsewhere and built up a sufficient PRSI record, you may qualify for a full State Pension. This does not make any difference to the calculation of the PS occupational pension.

How recently? I know you could negotiate pre-2008 but understood there was a ban put in force after that. Maybe it's been lifted.
With 20yrs experience in the same field, credit would certainly be applied at the interview stage.
I’m sorry, but that just isn’t the case.
My sister-in-law works in this area and she’s here in the house as we speak and I’ve asked her. As in recruits people.
She is saying to me that someone has to come in on a pay-scale, but to use Grade VIII as an example, if someone is paid €75k in their current private sector role, he or she can be brought in on a point that isn’t the bottom point.
Think about it, it’d be crazy if there wasn’t some flexibility.
The OP’s query refers to the public service, not the civil service.
But let’s take Revenue, an area you’re familiar with. The Big 4 Directors who were whacked in 2008/2009 and joined Revenue...they didn’t go in on the first point of any scale.
To to be clear. Are you talking about being successful at interview. Nothing to do with where you start on the pay scale?
