What voluntary redundancy means
Employers may invite volunteers to leave in return for a package. Volunteers usually sign a settlement agreement waiving claims. Read how selection works if too many volunteer and how payments compare to compulsory redundancy.
Deadlines
Voluntary windows are time-limited. If you need legal advice, book early. Rushing can lead to weak negotiation.
Tax and benefits
Align voluntary redundancy payments with tax rules and confirm pension and benefit end dates.
