Re-employment in public sector after redundancy

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has been through a similar situation. I've been offered two redundancy packages (one higher than the other). However, the higher stipulates that if I seek re-employment in the public sector in the future, I will need to gain the consent of the Minister of Public Expenditure. Can anyone tell me what criteria would be considered in granting this consent? Is it a mere formality or something that could hamper my attempts to gain public sector employment in the future. Thanks for any advice or help that people can offer.

    I've done it. Essentially you need a letter from HR explaining how you passed the selection process. In my case the new job offer letter was sufficient so it was not required to even ask for this letter from HR.

    Ah right cool. So it wasn't much of a hassle or obstacle to taking the new job? I'm just wondering what kind of circumstances would result in the Minister refusing consent? Thanks for your reply!

    You'd think the Minister would have greater concerns. Would wonder what the logic behind this is?

    At the moment the public service doesn't discriminate on budget when hiring. So if you are the best person for the job you get hired.

    It doesn't matter to hr that you have 35 years public sector service and the second best candidate has 5. There's an automatic payscale so that the person with 35 years service will be paid a lot more than the person with 5 to do the same job.

    OP if you take the higher offer you are giving them permission to hire someone with less years of service if you go for a public sector job.

    At least that's my understanding.

    That makes sense too. I only have 2 years of service anyway so I would hope this wouldn't be enough to actually impact my chances of re employment in the future. Thanks for this.
