    Agreed,however the buzz is that the offer will be only "voluntary" for those ages 50-55 don't envisage any compulsory redundancies which,as you said would have to involve ALL relevant staff which is not what they are after, just those that fall within this age group.
    So I suppose that if they don't get their required number of "volunteers" then they are just stuck with them. So the proposed offer would have to be a really good one then.

    I would have thought that if they didn't get their required numbers then they would make people compulsory redundant regardless of the age to make the numbers required
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    Everything should be in writing. Any redundancy is a dismisal in law, so ensure you get proper advice before signing any offer. I am a trade union Rep and have seen all sorts of unlwaful practices...
