Pay Cut or as HavocIRL says ****S!

[HavocIRL]

7.5 percent pay cut?!?!?!? are they for f*ckin real? I thought at the most it would be 5% for members of the DF.

This is b*llocks

Anyone else care to put it more eloquently then me. I can only type f*ckin swear words at the minute.

[HavocIRL]

Err. You hardly earn more than 30k. It's 5% for you...

Sorry I wasn't clear, meant in reference to other ranks aswell.

Thats what happens when all you can see is red

[HavocIRL]

5% on income under 30,000
7.5% on income between 30,001 and 70,000
10% on income between 70,001 and 125,000

You're going to have to earn 100,000 to have a pay cut of 7.5%.

By your own figures you've stated that if you earn between 30k and 70k you will get taxed 7.5%. Most Cpl's I know would earn just above 30 k. Therefore unless I'm missing something they will get a 7.5% cut.

Meh, could have been much worse.

I want my 12 days off. What happened to that plan?

[zone 1]

It would have just meant you got to take a pay cut next year. 12 days unpaid leave would have just delayed what really was an inevitable pay cut.

May as well get it out of the way.

if you earn between 30k and 70k you will get taxed 7.5%.

That's 7.5% on all income above €30,000. It's 5% on the 1st €30,000.

They'll be cutting another 4 billion next year so we can anticipate another pay cut then.

[blaisec]

I presume the 5% applies to service pensions also.

[Barry]

At least they brought in a Bono tax.

Just heard Lenihan on the radio saying "ah no, it's actually only 2 billion now" - just timed after the budget tp give a bit of 'good news'. They probably ****ed up the figures anyway like they did with all the estimates on the tax take etc. and will have to cut more than 4 billion.

[HavocIRL]

Here is where the misunderstanding lies....

If your salary is 32,000, you get a cut of 5% on the first 30,000 and 7.5% of the extra 2,000, so therefore your new salary is 28,500 + 1,850 = 30,350, which is a 5.2% paycut.

Get you now.
