Issue - meetings

The Assistant Director for Revenues & Welfare Services introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, seeking feedback and approval of the potential exit costs associated with the Revenues & Welfare Services restructure ahead of final decisions being taken by the Head of Paid Service (Chief Executive).

Members queried the term ‘suitable alternatives’ to redundancy, noting that if officers were unsuccessful in applying for other positions then redundancy or salary reduction due to lower paid work could not be considered a suitable alternative.

RESOLVED to:

Review the potential redundancy costs and pension strains for all team members.

Approve the provisional costs, within the likely maximum thresholds indicated in this report.
