Dear ETBs,

The ‘Reason’ and ‘Action’ codes were recently reviewed and agreed by the ESBS ETB HR/Pay Working Group, whose remit is to review all business processes to ensure standardisation, which will ultimately result in a more efficient HR/Payroll/Pension/Reporting System.

Action Codes:

A list of Action codes has been agreed to provide enhanced reporting, as per the table below and PeopleXD has been updated to reflect this.

This field will be made mandatory with effect from Monday 13th May 2024, so any amendments from this date will require an action code to ensure consistent and accurate reporting.

Action Code

When these should be used

Career Break

If EE on Career Break is returning to do substitute work / part-time hours.

Carers Leave

If EE is on Carer's Leave with reduced working hours.

Job Share

Any Teacher/SNA on job share.

Secondment

Secondment

Shorter Working Year

Shorter Working Year

Work Share

Any EE's other than Teacher/SNA, on work share.

Substantive post

This should be the default selection if no other Actions are applicable.

Multi-appointment

EE who has more than one appointment.

 

Note: *Do not select any Action codes marked with **DNU**

If you have any questions, please email ETBHRQueries@esbs.gov.ie



The Action Code reflects the static position of the agreed Action Codes for reporting purposes while the Reason Code will change each time the contract is updated.
 

So most likely that the Action code could be Substantive post and the reason code would state maternity or sick leave half pay in these scenarios.
