    At risk usually means your role is at risk and you will be entitled to redundancy.

    Regarding the ploy: read the info on citizens information. It's probably not a ploy, but you need to be careful to ensure you're entitled.
    Personally I'd take the redundancy and go back on contract if offered. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

    Not really. If you're made redundant from the PS, you have to wait 2 years (or something) before being employed again.

    I'm going to have to make a decision and I need concrete guidance.

    I'm not pushed whether they want me to stay or are anxious to get rid. I just want to optimise the outcome.

    In the magical world of the public sector, it's not their money so they don't really care and it's actually easier to spend a budget than have to explain why it wasn't spent.

    Is this a ploy to keep me on on the cheap while lowering the redundancy payment?

    Your worried that they won't pay out yet you mentioned they're throwing money around like confetti

    .... You've really nothing to be worried about. Enjoy the 10k

    No. I'm not worried that they won't pay the 10k.

    I'm concerned that any redundancy payment in May will be calculated based on a 3 day week (6 month period). If I am made redundant at the end of the year, I would be entitled to 10k.

    I was made redundant after 7 years the last 2 and half was a 3 day week..employer tried to give me 6 days pay per year instead of 10 (2 wks)

    I refused the package and said I was seeking advice and was told he was within his right because I was on a 3 day week for more than 2 years.

    Next day I got a call from the boss offering the full amount even tho he didn't have to..

    So basically, if I take a six month extension on 3-day week (the unspent budget is there for this), I'd be screwing myself and effectively working for free?!

    Where can I get authoritative info on this?
