I understand from the information that you have provided that your constituent works as a Resource Worker for the Adult Literacy Service. The position is that there is no scheme for the award of incremental credit to such Resource Workers. Furthermore, my Department has no plans to introduce such a scheme as it would be contrary to Government policy to do so. The details of a separate case provided by the Deputy relate to the placement of some staff in the Health service on the reduced pay scale for new entrants which applies to new entrants to the public service from January 1 2011. However, I understand that your constituent was employed prior to 2011 and is already paid on the pre-2011 pay scale.
