My Department currently has two staff seconded to a Local Area Employment Service (LAES) based in Limerick. We currently have one Clerical Officer seconded to the North East Inner City initiative (NEIC) in Dublin. This officer works with the NEIC as a Clerical Officer and does not have any involvement with LES/LAES services.
Staff on secondment are pensionable at their substantive grade. The two Clerical Officer staff on secondment with the Limerick based LAES are in receipt of an allowance which is not reckonable for pension purposes. Secondment arrangements for these staff are currently being reviewed in light of the new LAES contract arrangements.
