I wish to advise the Deputy that the criteria for the awarding of incremental credit to registered teachers at second level schools, is set out in my Departments Circulars 0029/2007 and 0029/2010.
The Circulars note the particular conditions which apply to the awarding of incremental credit for persons who may have been teaching, for a period, in less than whole time contracts, such as fixed term contracts, or casual and non-casual teaching service, including substitution work.
Persons working in such positions are required to fulfill certain conditions, including in relation to the number of hours worked per year, in order to qualify for full incremental credit.
A member of staff from the Post Primary Payroll Section of my Department has been in contact with the teacher concerned, in order to review past service, and advise him of the position in relation to this matter.
