Ivan joined the civil service in 1992. He pays PRSI at which class?

• A. Class A
• B. Class S
• C. Class K
• D. Class B

Answer: (D)

PRSI class is determined by the type of employment, not the level of pay. Public sector jobs, like the civil service, are covered under a different PRSI category than most private sector positions. Because Ivan works for the civil service, his PRSI is Class B, which applies to public sector employees. Class A is the standard category for most private sector employees, while the other classes (such as S or K) cover specific situations like self‑employment or very low earnings. The year he joined doesn’t change the class—the sector of employment does.
