Revised Commencement Date for New Sick Leave Scheme

Monday, 16 December 2013 11:27

****** UPDATE ******

Please click on this link for Update in relation to the Commencement Date of the New Sick Pay Scheme

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

To All Members,

Please see below correspondence re deferral of New Sick Pay Scheme. As you are aware the PNA have been engaged in an intense political campaign to have the retrospective element of this scheme rescinded. To this effect the enactment of this Legislation has been deferred to permit appropriate consideration of the scheme.

It is imperative that this political pressure is intensified over these coming weeks as to the best of our knowledge the Gardái and the PNA are two of the only Public Sector Unions launching a campaign.

The next steps of our campaign will be relayed to members in the next few days.

Yours sincerely

Des Kavanagh

General Secretary

" I wish to advise that the implementation date for the new Public Service Sick Leave Scheme will no longer be 1st January 2014 as originally intended.
