The Public Service Agreements (PSAs) for 2010-2016 (the Croke Park and Haddington Road agreements) provide for agreed redeployment agreements in the public service and other parts of the public service. Disclaimer This document is a summary of the key elements of the Public Service Stability Agreement (ASSA). The agreement itself is more comprehensive and contains more details on some issues than is reflected here. Readers are advised to refer to the final text of the full agreement for more information. While these two provisions are well behind the reinstatement of overtime introduced for some civil servants under the 2013 Haddington Road agreement, they offer options for employees for whom time is more important than money. They were the best thing that could be achieved through negotiation. Newcomers The term “new entrants” refers to people who started working in the public service after 2011 (and organizations related to it for wage purposes) when the government imposed, without agreement, lower pay scales for new employees. Outsourcing, personnel and related issues Despite management`s attempts to significantly dilute them, the PSSA maintains all outsourcing protections acquired by unions in negotiations that resulted in previous agreements at Croke Park (2010) and Haddington Road (2013). The Croke Park Agreement, officially known as the Public Service Agreement 2010-2014, is an agreement between the Irish government and various public sector unions and representative organisations. It was named after croke Park, a large sports arena with conference facilities in Dublin, where negotiations took place. The agreed rules for the redeployment of human resources in the health, education and local government sectors are managed directly by these sectors. Until the agreement expires, more than 90% of public servants and civil servants will earn as much, or more than when wage cuts were introduced in 2010 and (for the best income) in 2013. Nearly a quarter (low wages) have been completely removed from the “retirement tax” introduced in 2009.

The rest will make cuts in these payments, the rest being turned into “additional contributions.” In return, public sector unions agreed not to take union action and cooperate in comprehensive public sector reforms to increase efficiency, flexibility and redeployment, as well as to reduce costs and the number of employees. [4] Progress in the implementation of the CPA, including progress in redeploying public servants within and outside the public service sectors, is subject to sectoral monitoring and is recommended to the Enforcement Committee (implementationbody.gov.ie/progress-and-delivery/). As with all previous public service agreements, work is excluded in situations where the employer complies with the agreement. The agreement provides for a binding procedure to resolve problems that arise without any decision on trade union actions. These restrictions do not apply to matters that are not covered by the agreement. The agreement, officially titled “The Public Service Agreement 2010-2014,” was signed by the ICTU on June 6, 2010. In the context of layoffs and wage cuts in the private sector, the government has agreed not to impose redundancies in the public sector or further wage cuts in the public sector. [3] The agreement also requires management to cooperate with trade unions to minimize the use of temporary workers.
