Employee Schemes

This section provides detailed information on various employee schemes available through the Department of Education.

It includes circulars and additional resources related to the Employee Assistance Service (EAS), Cycle to Work Scheme, and various social protection benefits. The aim is to support the well-being and professional development of all school staff.

A circular is an official document or communication issued by an organisation, such as a government department, to provide information, instructions, or guidelines to a specific group of people.

Circulars are often used to disseminate important updates, policy changes, or procedural instructions. They are typically distributed to ensure that everyone within the organisation or affected by the information is aware of the relevant details and can act accordingly.

Circulars help maintain consistency and clarity in communication across various departments and stakeholders.
