Argyll and Bute to offer voluntary redundancy to all staff in bid to cut costs
It is expected that the council will have to cut somewhere between £21.7 and £26 million over the course of the next five years. The new plan was endorsed by the Council’s policy and resources committee and letters will be sent out next week.
The report states: “Inevitably jobs will be affected and given the council's redundancy policy gives a commitment to avoid compulsory redundancies as far as possible, it is recommended that a letter is sent to council employees asking them to express an interest in voluntary redundancy.”
The Council hopes these measures will go some way to mitigate the number of compulsory redundancies.
