The criteria for the award of incremental credit are set out in my Department’s Circulars 10/2001 for Primary teachers, 29/2007 and 29/2010 for Post-Primary teachers. The criteria for the award of incremental credit to recognised teachers was agreed under the auspices of the Teachers Conciliation Council (TCC).
The teachers unions have lodged a number of claims at the TCC in relation to incremental credit, and specifically a claim about private post primary teaching service outside the EU. These claims are still under consideration. The Department will advise the TCC of the outcome on completion of this process.
