In this section you will find information and guidance on how to manage change such as restructure, redundancy and other types of changes to an employee's terms and conditions. There is guidance on consultation, assimilation and pay protection, and redeployment using the alternative employment programme.
The managing change procedure will be applied in situations where the County Council finds it necessary to make structural or organisational changes or redundancies.
The redundancy and early release policy and procedure will apply to all employees covered by the NJC for Local Government Services and to all other employees of the County Council for whom there is no other specific redundancy and early release provisions policy and procedures laid down in national or local conditions of service.
Redundancy and Early Release Policy
Redundancy and Early Release Guidance
The aim of our Alternative Employment Programme is to provide affected staff with the support they need to assist them into reasonable alternative employment and minimise the likelihood of redundancy or your employment coming to an end which can arise from restructuring, organisational change, ill health, disability or lack of capability to perform your current role.
We value your skills, knowledge and experience and aim to retain these wherever possible. As part of a range of support you will have the opportunity to apply for roles with priority consideration to allow you the opportunity to continue working at the council and continue to deliver excellent services.
