Meeting: 17/12/2018 - Shadow Executive Committee (Item 98)

Shaping Dorset Council Programme - Interim Voluntary Release Scheme

To consider a report by the Lead Member for HR and Workforce. NOT FOR PUBLICATION

Minutes:

The Committee considered an exempt report by the Lead Member for HR and Workforce on an interim Voluntary Release Scheme.

 

Recommended

 

To recommend to sovereign councils that a single process be implemented to manage and agree requests for Voluntary Redundancy for Dorset Council where those decisions are made before 1 April 2019, as outlined in the Lead Members’ report.

 

Decisions

 

1. That Dorset Council applies redundancy multiplier arrangements as detailed in the Lead Member’s report for all transferred staff.

 

2. That a redundancy multiplier for all new staff who join Dorset Council from 1 April 2019 be applied.

 

Reason for Decisions

 

Inclusion of a voluntary redundancy scheme would support meeting the budget requirements for 2019/20 and beyond.
