Dear Colleagues,
The Haddington Road Agreement (HRA) came into operation on 1 July 2013 covering those grades whose representative unions have agreed to be bound by its terms, and have registered that agreement with the Labour Relations Commission. We have been advised by the HEA that on 2 August 2013, the LRC registered the acceptance of the Haddington Road Agreement by UNITE. Accordingly, with effect from 2 August 2013 the terms of the Haddington Road Agreement now apply to university staff in place of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2013.
The main provisions of HRA in respect of pay is as follows:
Annualised amount of Remuneration |
Reduction |
Any amount up to €80,000 |
5.5% * |
Any amount over €80,000 but not over €150,000 |
8% |
Any amount over €150,000 but not over €185,000 |
9% |
Any amount over €185,000 |
10% |
* The 5.5% reduction applies to all salary below €80,000, not solely the portion of salary which is between €65,000 and €80,000.
