A change in rate will occur in all cases except for the casual rate point 1, the National Minimum Wage and the Undergraduate Demonstrator rate as these rates are all equal to the National Minimum wage of €10.20 per hour.
When the work was actually done will dictate the rate. Please select the 2011 rate for any work done prior to 1st September 2021, regardless of the date the timesheet is submitted. For any work done on or after 1st September 2021, please choose the 2010 rate.

In Budget 2011, the Government announced a measure whereby ‘New Entrants’ to the public service would be employed on rates of pay which are 10% less than existing rates. This took effect for relevant ‘New Entrant’ hourly paid staff commencing work in UCD effective from 1st September 2012.
This new rate was applicable to anyone who had no experience of working in a similar role in the Public Sector prior to their commencing work in UCD. On the Hourly Set-up Form the hourly claimant was asked to indicate if they had previous Public Service work experience. If they selected no, they were treated as a ‘New Entrant’ and placed on the 2011 New Entrant hourly rates. If they selected yes, they completed an additional section on the online set-up form giving details of their previous experience. This was reviewed by HR, who determined which rate they should be paid. The claimant and the School/Unit were notified by HR of which rate applied.
2011 Rates ceased on 1 September 2021.
