Voluntary Redundancy Policy

Policy Statement

{{org_field_name}} is committed to creating as secure an employment environment as possible and will therefore endeavour to avoid compulsory redundancies wherever it can. It is recognised, however, that circumstances may arise which result in the organisation seeking to effect a reduction in staffing or change to the services it provides. These circumstances may be brought about by operational needs, sector or business requirements, financial restraints or other organisational issues. In these circumstances, {{org_field_name}} may seek volunteers for redundancy.

{{org_field_name}} may at its discretion invite applications for voluntary redundancy as part of its re-organisation plans to minimise the need for compulsory redundancies.

Procedure

  1. Employees are invited to indicate their willingness to consider voluntary redundancy following consultation with the recognised employee representatives according to the situation at that time. There will be a fixed time period in which applications will be accepted.
  2. The invitation from the service or an indication of willingness to consider voluntary redundancy from an employee will not imply any commitment on either part.
  3. The agreed terms for redundancy payment will be made clear in each instance.
  4. Any employees indicating willingness to consider voluntary redundancy will be able to discuss their position and details of redundancy pay with _________ (accompanied by a workplace colleague or trade union representative if desired).
  5. Any applications to be considered for voluntary redundancy will not in any way influence or affect decisions made in respect of applications for other employment within {{org_field_name}}.
  6. If there are more volunteers within the area affected than are required, the decision made will ensure there is a balanced workforce with the requisite skills to meet future business needs.
  7. {{org_field_name}} gives no guarantee that voluntary redundancy requests will be granted.
  8. {{org_field_name}} reserves the right to select those employees that will be offered voluntary redundancy. If a request for voluntary redundancy is refused, the employee will be informed of the reason for the refusal. The service’s decision is final.
  9. Indicating an interest in voluntary redundancy will not prejudice an individual’s continuing employment in any way.
