Voluntary redundancy management guidelines
These guidelines provide managers with practical advice and step-by-step guidance for administering the voluntary redundancy process. They explain management responsibilities at each stage of an employee’s application, including assessing requests, supporting employees, communicating decisions, obtaining approvals, and completing the required documentation. The guidelines also include template letters, process flowcharts, and information to help managers apply the voluntary redundancy policy and procedure consistently, fairly and in line with organisational requirements.
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.
