The Department of Public, Expenditure and Reform issued guidance in December 2022 which clarified the rules regarding pension abatement and the methodology for calculation of same. The HSE in turn issued their own memo (059/2024) in early 2024 outlining the content of the DPER guidance. It is as a result of this new guidance, that abated employees are currently being assessed by the HSE for compliance.

All retired public servants who are re-employed by any public service body are subject to pension abatement rules. The HSE are obliged to apply the regulations that are in place, and to calculate and apply abatement as laid down in DPENDR Circular 24/2022, as of 1st January 2023.
