Monitoring Officer/S.151 Officer comments

Monitoring Officer:  

This report was not on the Council’s forward plan and therefore the consent of the chairman of the Finance and Resources Overview and scrutiny committee was obtained to treat this matter as an urgent report.

S.151 Officer:

All redundancy cases are assessed on a case by case basis and the business case to justify any decision has to provide value for money.

Redundancies will only be approved if the financial business case Is positive, hence there should be no direct financial impact on the existing budget, but future redundancy business cases will provide less savings to the council.

Advice

Cllr Williams advised this follows some dispute over T&C changes to redundancy, which lead to further negotiation with the result that we have amended our original decision, as set out in report.  Recommendation is to ask Full Council to approve the revised proposal.

Recommendations agreed.

Voting

None.
