We keep being told it is not redundancy or voluntary redundancy but a mutual resignation scheme ie voluntary severence payment with a compromise agreement. However, the pay off of one month for every year of service up to a max of 24 months which I understand the first £30k is tax free is going to cost virtually the same. Why is this? So the public don't realise how many people are going and how much this sham of a restructure is costing - if only they knew!! They seem to be making it up as they go along - we are now told a CB structure could be out in October - 6-months before PCTs are abolished - it will be a mad scramble with the wrong staff going for them to have to get them back at a later date!! What a waste of money.
