The ESB’s internal joint industrial committee decided that tiered pay cuts should be introduced. The cuts will start at 11% for those at the lower end of the pay scale and will rise to 17% for those at the top. The pay cuts are part of an overall €140m cost saving programme at ESB that was agreed by management and unions. The plan was that €56.4m was to come from cuts to non-core pay elements such as profit share, overtime, and performance payments. The largest portion of the overall savings — €83m — was to come from a voluntary redundancy programme. In Powergen, only 160 people applied to take the severance package where 250 were needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishexaminer.com\u002Fireland\u002Fesb-to-cut-pay-of-695-staff-up-to-17-226051.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishexaminer.com\u002Fireland\u002Fesb-to-cut-pay-of-695-staff ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
