The estimated additional annual cost of introducing a minimum wage of €12, €13, €14 or €15 an hour for all employees to the Department is:
Annual Cost of Introducing a Minimum Wage
€12 per hour | €600,000 per annum |
---|---|
€13 per hour | €1,000,000 per annum |
€14 per hour | €1,500,000 per annum |
€15 per hour | €2,100,000 per annum |
These estimates are based on the current staff composition of the Department and changes to this staff composition will affect these estimates. In particular the Passport Service employ a number of temporary staff to meet the seasonal needs of passport applications. My Department applies the rates of pay set by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
