It’s very, very hard to fail public service probation1 year probation period (again)
Unlikely that they will grant this while formally on probation.I would have to wait 12 months to apply for parental leave which I have in my current job.
Not as hard as it used to be. You’d be surprised. I know of a few who were dispensed with.It’s very, very hard to fail public service probation
10 times a very small number is still a small numberNot as hard as it used to be.
@Leper how does one transfer their service? I switched from Civil Service to Local Authority in 2021 and I do remember filling out some pension-related paperwork prior to starting but I'm not sure exactly what it entailed.If you do transfer to another public service body ensure you transfer your service almost immediately. This avoids any problems later.
1. You are entitled to transfer service from one public service to another. But, it must be done in written form from the public body that you are leaving or left. It is they who should advise your new employer of the amount of service to be transferred.@Leper how does one transfer their service?

Thanks @Leper I will definitely chase this up. I'm starting to wonder now if my years of Public Service in Northern Ireland could also have possibly been transferred as I left a job with a NI University to take up a post with the Civil Service in the Republic. These are things I hadn't thought of at the time.1. You are entitled to transfer service from one public service to another. But, it must be done in written form from the public body that you are leaving or left. It is they who should advise your new employer of the amount of service to be transferred.
2. After this is done lease with your new employer and get it confirmed of the amount of service that is transferred.
3. Do not accept any word of mouth alone, ensure you are given a letter by both bodies confirming.
4. Waiting until your 65th birthday is not a good time to do this. Records get lost, destroyed etc. Your pension entitlement could be seriously delayed because of your failure.
What they’re saying is that there’s no formal “transfer” of the service because there’s no need. It’s all reconciled on retirement.So it sounds like you cannot transfer service if moving from one public sector employer to another if both are within the Single Public Service Pension Scheme.
I have been offered a position (same grade) in another public sector organisation. I'm 2 years in my current position. I'm torn. I would have to serve a 1 year probation period (again) I did ask. I would have to apply for incremental credit but could be waiting. I would have to wait 12 months to apply for parental leave which I have in my current job. I can apply for blended working in this new position which is a pro and o would be slightly closer to home. I'm almost positive I won't take it as I'm hoping that when the embargo ends in the HSE opportunities will come up for me to move up. I would ideally like to work in a different environment. Just wanted to know people's thoughts on this? New post would be in County Council. Thanks.
