There are also a number of professional staff employed in my Department including inter alia Legal Advisor, Chief Pharmacist, Chief Environmental Health Officer, Chief Nursing Officer who are paid a salary equivalent to their comparable civil service grade.
Under the terms of the Civil Service Pension Scheme, all retiring Civil Servants are normally entitled to an annual pension and retirement lump sum based on final salary and years of service. The retirement lump sum is calculated at 3/80ths of pensionable remuneration for each year of reckonable service, subject to a maximum of 40 years service.
The method of calculation of pension for pre-6 April 1995 staff (Non Personal Pension Contribution) who pay the modified rate of PRSI is 1/80th of pensionable remuneration per year of reckonable service, subject to a maximum of 40 years.
The method of calculating Main Scheme pension for officers recruited on or after 6 April 1995 (PPC) who qualify for benefits on or after 1 January 2004 is:
(a) For that part of the officer's pensionable remuneration which is less than or equal to 3 1/3rd times the current rate of CSP (Contributory State Pension), 1/200th of pensionable remuneration multiplied by the number of years of reckonable service plus
(b) For any part of the officer's pensionable remuneration which exceeds 3 1/3rd times CSP, 1/80th of pensionable remuneration multiplied by the number of years of reckonable service.
The maximum number of years of reckonable service is 40.
