The terms and conditions of employment of teachers may be considered under the auspices of the Teachers' Conciliation Council (TCC). The Council is comprised of representatives of teachers, school management, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the Department of Education & Skills and is chaired by an Official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
The criteria for the award of incremental credit to post-primary teachers is set out in Circulars 29/2007 & 29/2010 which were published following consideration by the TCC. In line with the circulars, teaching service given in a private post-primary school outside the European Union does not qualify for the award of incremental credit.
