(Note; if there are no staff interested in VS there will be roles for all 28 staff)
Pay to the new positions will be performance based as now applies to the vast majority of managers represented by the CWU. Salary will commence at 80% of the median or 5%, whichever is the greater. Our information is that most staff are at the max of the POC grade therefore we have agreed that the change allowance will be consolidated in wages first then the 5% applied. Management grades also attract PMD payments of up to 10% for CS grades and up to 15% for CM grades. There is also the potential to reach 120% of the median of the grade. (Median of CS2 Grade is €48,860 at present).
In line with the Indoor Admin Operative (IAO) role profile, the IAO will be the point of contact for “CAD” data collection and collation.
“Under direction of the DSM, supporting CAD and Design updates including but not limited to the collection and collation of DSU data that will be included in the Office Profile report for each DSU.”
Further discussions are needed to agree an implementation date, next steps and commencement date for pay purposes.
This agreement includes the modernisation of the area to align with the company’s digitisation strategy. It also recognises the work and commitment of our members over the years and provides security to the roles now and into the future.
