Redundancy and local Government/Public Sector Employment
I'm being made redundant from a LA. Does anyone know how long before I can be a) re-employed by a LA (not necessarily the same one) without losing any redundancy payment b) are there any restrictions on joining another public sector body and losing rights to redundancy money? Thanks.
