Regarding my own Department, the majority of staff (97.5%) receive their payslips on-line. At present payslips are posted to 5 weekly paid staff and 4 fortnightly paid staff as they have no access to the on-line payslip available on the Department's internal computer network. During the year, on request, payslips may also be posted to those availing of the Shorter Working Year. The estimated cost is approximately €300.

Operational matters relating to Commercial and Non-Commercial Agencies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar, and as such, the Deputy may wish to contact these agencies himself.

With regard to HSE staff, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
