Voluntary redundancy policy
This policy explains the council approach to managing voluntary redundancy. It outlines who is eligible to apply, how applications are considered, and the key principles used to ensure decisions are made fairly, consistently and with appropriate financial oversight and that acceptance is not guaranteed. The policy also provides information on redundancy payments, pension considerations, re-employment within the council, and the support available to employees considering voluntary redundancy.
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.
