Passport Office Staff get Standing Ovation at CPSU conference
http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0326/pay.html
How come these delegates weren't at work?Looks like a lot of them from the photo..
They get a days leave to attend the conference, but overtime? Come on, stick to the facts.in the 'public' service, there's a lot of union meetings, overtime for travel to them etc which are all covered for by the taxpayers
A days leave is what they get, it seems to be a long standing arrangment with the dept of finance. Any allowance they get comes from the union. There was talk of the government withdrawing leave for union business because of the industrial action, but nothing concrete as yet.Maybe not overtime - but an allowance of some sort I'd venture?
Why, I have no idea.
Aye.Oh My GOD.. they get a days leave to attend a conference!
All.How many of them get this ?
AllHow many of those who got the days leave actually attended?
Due to vacant posts not being filled we're kinda used to covering for absent staff, so don't be getting yourself too upset!How was their work covered while they were on this days leave?
So separating fact from fiction we now have at least two PS/CS weird perk types of leave utterly confirmed: Union conference & christmas shopping. I wonder how many more there are?![]()
Shocking isn't it?! I'm here 7 years and I haven't claimed a single minute for union business!Uh oh.

Which is fine cos I get loads.
I don't think so. I remember looking at the salary scales from Grade III to grade VII when benchmarking was being awarded. The percentage increase the grades got in the bechmarking incremented according to the grade. I don't have the old scales now but a grade III got something like 3% whereas a grade VII got 5%. After than the increases were the same be it 1 or 2% etc.
Pensioners who retire from 2011 will have pension based on the lower scale.
Don't forget the Passport Office will be closed next friday..........
What about the privilege day.............
Will they close Tuesday or Thursday?
Or skeleton crew on both days?
