The annual cost to recruit two additional fire and security engineers at grade 1 and two additional fire and security engineers at grade 2 is €325,592. This figure is based on recruitment at the 1st point of the pay-scale and employers PRSI costs only, as we cannot estimate with any certainty the non pay costs attributable to new recruits such as T&S, IT equipment, phones, heat light and rent.
| Annual cost based 1st Point on payscale | Estimated PRSI | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 - Engineer Grade 1 | 159,672 | 14,370.48 |
| 2 - Engineer Grade 2 | 139,036 | 12513.24 |
| Cost per annum | 298,708 | 26,883.72 |
| Total Cost Including PRSI | 325,592 |
