Civil Service general service grades - consolidated pay scales (Public Service Agreement 2024-2026), DPENDR Circular 22/2026

Scales are for PPC staff (appointed on/after 6 Apr 1995, Class A PRSI, paying personal pension contribution) - the relevant scale for most current staff. Pre-1995 (non-PPC, Class D PRSI) staff have lower separate scales in Appendix 2A (e.g. CO point 1 EUR 587.05/wk, EO point 1 EUR 37,211) - not included. 'annual' and 'weekly' are the published figures; 'monthly' = published annual / 12 (rounded to cent) for convenience only. Weekly scales (CO, CO Higher, Services Officer, Cleaner) are left without a monthly figure because annualisation convention is not stated in the circular. LSI = Long Service Increment (LSI 1 after 3 yrs satisfactory service at max, LSI 2 after 6 yrs). Entry is normally at point 1; one increment per year. Validity: increases under PSA 2024-2026 were 1 Feb 2026 and 1 Jun 2026 (1%); this 1 Jun 2026 table is the last under that agreement (which ran to 30 Jun 2026). Successor public-service pay talks began at the WRC in Oct 2026 (Irish Times, 17 Oct 2026); no new scales published as of 2026-11-11. Weekly working hours not stated in the circular (not filled to avoid guessing). Members also pay Additional Superannuation Contribution (ASC: 0% to EUR 34,500, 10% to EUR 60,000, 10.5% above for standard-accrual schemes; Single Scheme 0%/3.33%/3.5%) plus scheme pension contributions - relevant for net pay.
