Circular 10/2001 is the circular regarding incremental credit for recognised service. If incremental credit is granted a teacher will be moved up the payscale and if they are due outstanding uplifts, they will receive backpay from the Department of Education. However, teaching service abroad which is recognised for incremental credit on the payscale is not recognised for pension purposes, since no contributions were made to the pension scheme during the period of service abroad. Therefore it may be worth investigating Notional Service/AVC’s should you wish to cover this ‘gap’ of pension contributions.
