Email from IAA, but still no money mentioned.......
I appreciate that in order to specify your remuneration expectations you need to understand the structure of the remuneration package. We were looking for an indication of overall remuneration expected rather than rather than detailing a specific package.
This is a new departure for us and a learning experience in relation to structuring a realistic remuneration package. We are proposing a basic salary plus an allowance for shift work and Office Holiday attendance plus membership of a Defined Benefit Pension Scheme.
On completion of the contract period the pension could be preserved or transferred to another pension scheme if appropriate.
Annual Leave would be a maximum of 34 days p/a.
Paid Sick Leave benefits would also apply.
The positions on offer are operational shift positions in Shannon ACC on 3-year fixed-term contracts. You would be operating as an en-route controller handling traffic on the interface between Europe and the North Atlantic.
Rosters are under negotiation at the moment and the outcome will probably be either a 6on/3off roster or a 5on/3off roster. If the latter, duties would be longer and possibly include a time-adjustment duty. Rosters normally start with an evening duty and end with a night duty in Shannon. ATCOs are required to work 34.75 hours in position per week less fatigue breaks.
It is not envisaged that we would include Health Insurance cover, rental or travel allowances.
It is not planned to offer permanent employment on completion of the contract.
The intention is to start mid Q1, 2008 but we may have some flexibility on that.
