Hello
Am currently on critical illness leave and will be moving to TRR soon- I can’t find much information about TRR and wondering if anyone could help.
I presume it is a welfare payment and once I move to this all my pension etc will stop am I right? I am a public sector worker.
Any idea how to work out how much I will be getting into my hand every week. I earn approx €70k so am assuming that would be 37.5% of 70k but how do I work out how much I get into my hand every week- are there any taxes off that etc?
Also since I am on critical illness does that mean I get this payment for 3 years as opposed to 18 months or us that something that is decided based on illness. I’m awaiting a transplant so have no idea how long I will be out of work however I do expect to go back once I am through that operation.
Any help /information appreciated !

I don't know anything abut it other than what I read online. But following Critical Illness It is payable for 1 year which can be renewed for 2 further years with 6 monthly reviews:

"If you have used up your full and half CIP pay, TRR may be granted for up to 1 year (365 days) in a rolling 4-year period.

TRR may be extended for a further 2 years (730 calendar days and maximum 1095 calendar days). The TRR extension is reviewed every 6 months."

I am not sure what you mean by this? It is not a Dep. of Social Protection payment - it is paid by your employer. But you are expected to apply for the relevant Social Welfare payment and remit this to your employer (ie, the 37.5% is inclusive of Social Welfare).

The payment is taxable in the normal way so it depends on whether or not your are jointly assessed and on what credits you might have. But percentage-wise it should be a lot less than you pay on 70k. Maybe 10%?
In addition to @ClubMan's link this may be relevant: https://www.hse.ie/eng/staff/resour...s-to-the-public-service-sick-leave-scheme.pdf
