Direct entry (recruitment) grades in the Education Sector (Post 1 January 2011 Entrants) - Recognition of Previous Public Service in another EU Member State

The purpose of this circular is to inform Institutes of Technology and their employees of revised arrangements for the recognition of previous service in an analogous position in the public service of another EU Member State when determining whether an individual recruited to a direct entry (recruitment) grade is a new entrant to their grade and the appropriate salary scale on which to place him/her. The revision arises from a recent decision of the EU Commission in this regard.
