I refer the Deputy to Circular 04 of 2022, which is published on the Government website (address below), which outlines the current pay rates for a post at Secretary General Level III.

www.gov.ie/en/circular/ef515-application-of-1st-february-2022-pay-adjustments/.

The rate of Employer's PRSI is dependent on a number of factors, including the appointee's date of entry to the public service. Employer's PRSI is a matter for the Department of Social Protection, and detail of contribution rates and user information is also provided on the Government website (address below).

www.gov.ie/en/collection/06bf07-prsi-contribution-rates-and-user-guide-sw14/.

As an illustrative example, for an individual appointed to the civil service on or after 6 April 1995, paying the Class A rate of PRSI contribution, and making an employee contribution in respect of personal superannuation benefits (PPC), a salary of €204,630 and Employer PRSI rate of 11.05% (€22,611.62) would apply.
