Those of the above staff who are unestablished are members of the Un-established Civil Service Pension Scheme and pay the pension levy. The Department does not make any contribution to this Scheme. Staff who are established civil servants are members of the Non-contributory Pension Scheme for Established State Employees and of the Contributory Spouses' and Children's Pension Scheme for Established State Employees. They also pay the pension levy.
All the above staff are appointed in accordance with the terms of the Public Service Management Act 1997 and the Guidelines issued by the Department of the Finance.
