Remuneration of all staff of the Department is as sanctioned by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for various individual grades in line with Government pay policy.
The minimum entry point of all incremental payscales relevant to staff recruited to my Department, reflect an hourly rate above the current national minimum wage of €9.80 per hour. Therefore, there are no staff, either full-time or part-time, employed in my Department being paid at or below the minimum wage rate of pay.
In relation to the first part of the Deputy's question, there are a total of 917 (872.30 FTEs) staff in my Department, of which 766 are full-time and a further 151 (106.3 FTEs) have opted to avail of the terms of the Civil Service Work-Sharing Scheme.
