Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

Relevant documents/policies of the Department of Finance. I was employed in the public sector (University of Limerick) before Jan 2011. I left my job in the public sector (UCD) on 29 Feb 2016, with the annual salary of €42,500. I returned to the public sector (TCD) on 1 Sep 2018. The annual salary offered to me was €33,875 (the first point in the scale). TCD claimed (in the job advertisement) that the payment will be at a point of the pay scale in line with the current Government pay policy. Now, my request is to be provided with the document of the government policy that indicates, either: - It is recommended that a public sector body should/can offer the annual salary lower than the level which the employee was paid before in a similar public sector body.
