Consultation process
Finance Comments
The total voluntary redundancy payment is £57k of which
£18k has already been incurred in 12/13. In addition, there
will be a total of £39k of redundancy-related pension costs
spread over 5 years. The expected remaining £60k budget
reduction of the £250k target will be allocated against
non-staffing costs in the service.
HR Comments
Libraries and Archive staff and unions have been consulted and
communicated with on a regular basis at meetings and by written
correspondence. The implementation of the new structure has been in
accordance with City of York Council Supporting Transformation
(Management of Change) Policies and Procedures. As a result of
approving voluntary redundancies and vacant posts remaining
unfilled during the restructure compulsory redundancy has
successfully been avoided.
