Voluntary redundancy employee procedure
This procedure explains the process employees must follow when applying for voluntary redundancy during an approved voluntary redundancy window. It outlines each stage of the application journey, from estimating redundancy pay and submitting an application through to management review, financial assessment, approval decisions, acceptance of an offer, and the arrangements for leaving employment. It also explains how redundancy payments and pension benefits are assessed and provides information on the responsibilities of employees and management throughout the process and that acceptance is not guaranteed.
For more information about how it works, who is eligible, how to check your estimated payment and how to apply, refer to our
voluntary redundancy section.
