The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC). This Council is comprised of representatives of teacher unions, school management, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, and the Department of Education and is chaired by an official of the Workplace Relations Commission.
The criteria for the award of incremental credit is laid out in my Department’s Circulars 10/2001 for Primary teachers and 29/2007 & 29/2010 for Post-Primary teachers. Please note that applicants need to have earned incremental salary for the service to be eligible.
JobBridge Interns will receive an allowance of €50 per week on top of their social welfare entitlement, but JobBridge service is not eligible service for the award of incremental credit under the Department’s circulars.
