Civil service complusary redundancy

208 Posts

I have got under 2 years service with civil service so today's news regarding civil service job cuts worries me even though told by various people that they expect cuts to be done via natural wastage.
Anyway I worry a lot so was wondering because being under 2 years I suppose they can get rid of us without notice however my contract states;
". Compulsory or Voluntary Redundancy

i) If your employment is terminated on compulsory redundancy terms xxxx will normally give you 6 months’ notice. Voluntary redundancy notice will depend on the offer and circumstances at the time"
Is this more than they legally have to give considering I am under 2 years?

It means, Yes it is more notice than they legally have to give you.
Time to enjoy the weekend!
That said, compulsory redundancy entitlement is not really very much with c. 2 to 3 years service.
Anyway, as others have suggested, not much more than political noise at the moment much loved by the swivel eyed muppetts that read the Daily Mail!
