Judging by this article in the indo today don't hold out much hope of any reform at all....
It claimed the move would have saved €4.6m -- based on a simple calculation of the number of civil servants, the number of extra days they got and their average pay
But yesterday the unions succeeded in preserving their members' rights to the privilege days after a civil service dispute's body delivered a damning verdict on the State's case for change.
Lower-paid civil servants, who have 29 days' annual leave,
The CPSU who represent lower paid, mainly clerical officers in the CS (who only get the minimum entitlement to annual leave (20days), plus 1 extra day after 5 years service, plus one more after 10) has already reached an agreement with Government that these privilege days would be converted into official annual leave days under the CPA.
Is that 20 days plus the extra two now that they aren't celebrating Empire Day or the Kings birthday anymore?
If so did they only get 18 days before that or have they just given up the two days?
If they just gave them up did they get a payment to do so?
OK, so it's currently 22 days leave a year (20 +2) minimum.
So there would be a reduction of one day for lower grade staff, yes?
From what i read, if privledge days were removed, grades with 20 to 24 days leave with get an extra two days leave compensation ( so would be no worse off).
Grades with 25 to 29 days holidays would get one day's leave compensation (so would have one less day off a year).
Grades with 30 or more days holidays would receive no extra annual leave days ( so would have two day's less off a year).
Those at the lower grades can work up flexi-time so the 20 days (now 22) could actually end up being 38 days (now 40). The higher grades don't work flexi and would generally work more than the minimum hours.
