Employees of my Department are paid in line with Civil Service Salary Scales.  These are most recently outlined in Circular 04/2022.  The Department of Social Protection does not, at present, have any employees paid below €12.30 per hour.  Hourly wages are calculated using the standard 37-hour Civil Service working week.

Neither the Citizens Information Board nor the Pensions Authority have any staff employed at an hourly rate lower than €12.30.
