The Redundancy Fallout

PERSONAL - ADDRESSEE ONLY

22nd January 2016

Dear Miss Weaver

RE: Redundancies Update: Non-Selection For Games

I am writing to inform you that on reflection, the Redundancy Panel did not find your application nor your previous appraisals of a good enough standard to qualify for a place at the Departmental Redundancy Games. Therefore, the decision has already been made on your behalf and your last day of service will be Thursday, 31st March 2016.  We have decided on a figure of £XXXX amount as a suitable severance package for your many faithful years of service.  This is a very generous offer in the circumstances and could we remind you of the need to adhere to the Civil Service Code in regard to never specifying the exact amount to anyone?  Even members of your own family, your pet or indeed your parish priest?  

Please can you ensure that you arrange with your Line Manager to take the outstanding leave balance prior to departure.  Your laptop and drawer will also need to be cleared out by xxxxxxxxx.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your many years of service and trust that you use the money wisely.  I have attached a fact sheet (enc) including the telephone numbers of various charitable organisations to contact should you ever feel suicidal during the next few months.  There's also a social club for former public servants which meets on a the promenade at Hastings Beach on the second Thursday of every month at 12pm.  Bring your own booze in a paper bag.  

Good luck for the future (you'll need it to remain sober!)   As ever, your line manager is the first point of contact for any queries you may have in the meantime.  

Kind regards

Celia Broom
HR
