Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015 begins restoring some pay cuts imposed on public servants during the financial crisis, with increases phased by salary level from 2016 to 2019. It also reduces pension-related deductions for serving and retired public servants, allows certain State payments to be adjusted, and changes pay arrangements for judges and public servants. The measures implement parts of the Lansdowne Road Agreement between the Government and public-service unions, while retaining some restrictions on incremental pay and unauthorised remuneration.
