Business support agency frustrated at operation of strict government rules over the hiring of new staff
'The Department of Public Expenditure has always stated that at least two working weeks’ notice should be given to allow more time for processing and for any queries raised to be dealt with.'over how long it was taking to hire new staff, saying much of it was outside of their control. It also said that one job had been offered to a candidate even though it was never sanctioned.
‘In 2007 I lost an entire week’s wages. That feeling of knowing you’ve just worked for free all week really hurt’ Responding to the Enterprise Ireland memo, human resources officials wrote: “The Department of Public Expenditure has always stated that at least two working weeks’ notice should be given to allow more time for processing and for any queries raised to be dealt with.”
In another case, Enterprise Ireland said it missed out on a recruit in Copenhagen due to a long delay in getting a contract approved. The Department of Enterprise responded: “On 29/08/2022, human resources requested that Enterprise Ireland could cover the additional funding for this post, a response was not received … until 15/09/2022.”
Two days later, she wrote again saying: “As you are aware, the failure to approve the posts for the overseas roles is resulting in a delay which may impact our ability to retain the candidates selected and I urgently request approval to proceed with these.”
