Redundancy
There is a big fuss in the papers this morning about the amount of redundancy paid by the NHS in recent months. It’s here in the Telegraph. Here’s an extract.
Nearly 1,000 health workers have received six-figure exit deals in the past year, with 157 managers and other senior staff receiving more than £200,000 — a 50 per cent rise on the previous year.
Some officials have received golden goodbyes of £600,000 as part of the Government’s ongoing restructuring of the NHS.
i’ve always believed, as someone who has generally been self-employed or has worked in a company I’ve part-owned, that if you earn over a certain amount, then you are not entitled to redundancy and perhaps only get the same legal minimum that say a secretary would get. Surely, if you’re making a six-figure sum a year, you should be able to make provision for if the worst happens.
It may be hard, but it will encourage people to perform.
