There were 453.76 Whole Time Equivalents (WTE) employed in my Department at the end of May 2011 (the latest available figures). This includes individuals working in the Office of the Disability Appeals Officer and the former Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.
The following table details the breakdown of staff by grade at the end of May 2011.
| Grade Level | Whole Time Equivalent | Pay Scale (Where scales vary depending on the rate of PRSI contribution that applies, the scales shown are those paid to employees to whom full PRSI rates apply. Scales for those paying modified PRSI are reduced so that net pay is unchanged)The pay of a small number of individuals (for example staff on secondment from agencies external to the Department) may vary slightly from the bands shown. |
