Fórsa says the department conceded all school secretaries should be placed on the public service clerical officer scale, bringing an end to a two-tier pay system.
The union says work remains to be done on the details of a similar package for caretakers, but the department agreed the same principles would apply.
Shane Lambert, Forsa's Assistant General Secretary, joined Ciara Noble on Wednesday's edition of Kildare Today.
