What has this to do with Calis or Turkey. ??? ???
Surely this kind of post would be more applicable on a truly Scottish forum.

Forgive me for posting this in General Topics rather than Turkey Related Topics  aghhhhhhhhh !

Nothing concrete just a commonly held belief around here.

My point is that they should not be just because the people work for the Government.

I know around three years ago Birmingham City Council offered "enhanced" redundancy payments.  It really wasn't worth a great deal more than usual.  I received a far larger redundancy payment from TSB Bank for a mere 3 years service.

Point taken H, but in my neck of the woods it is the belief that those in private industry/employment get far higher payouts and better conditions. Local Government employees are tied into National pay and conditions contracts which I have heard are considered generous in the North, but not so in the South, where the cost of living is believed to be much higher.

 It all depends on how high you go in the public sector pecking order. When you reach a certain altitude the trough is full to overflowing.    ;)

Agreed Kevin3, but we are talking redundancy payments here! I think there is something wrong when a headteacher can top the salary of a prime minister, but all the redundancy payments I have seen, and there have been quite a few at all levels, the only golden payments were to those they want rid of and to do that through the legal system would be very expensive. Just my experience, of course which was local government, not central government.  :)

Speaking from personal, and also professional experience, the private sector schemes for VR were always more generous than public sector.

Local government

"Your employer can also decide to award you up to £6500 per year extra pension or up to 104 weeks’ pay as a compensation payment".
