The table below set out the current vacancies in the Workplace Relations Commission broken down by number, grade/role and the estimated full-year cost of filling each post:

The Deputy should note that the Department is also finalising plans to recruit a Regional Manager in the Conciliation, Arbitration and Mediation Service. The table above does not illustrate the position in relation to the Regional Manager post as the posts at this level, recently vacated has been filled by way of ‘acting-up’ by a WRC official, this creates 1 HEO (IRO) vacancy captured in the table above. Similarly, a PO position in the WRC is currently filled by way of acting-up and will be filled substantively in due course. This latter acting arrangement created a further temporary vacancy at the Regional Manager level which is also temporarily filled by way of acting up also captured in the table above – 2 existing HEO (IRO) vacancies and 2 temporary vacancies pending the cessation of the acting up arrangements to fill the Regional Manager positions.
