Appendix two to Item 4 , exempt by virtue of paragraph 1.

Further to minute 74 ante, the Committee considered the exempt appendix to the Acting Director of Law, HR and Asset Management’s report.

Responding to comments from Members, the Head of HR and Organisational Development stated that with the current EVR process the aim would be to mitigate and avoid any possible compulsory redundancies following the restructures currently being undertaken within departments. A number of people on the redeployment list had also volunteered for EVR. The extension of any fixed term contracts would only be done for operational reasons and had to be signed off by the relevant departmental director, Head of HR and Organisational Development and the Interim Director of Finance.

She went on to explain the various stages in the redeployment process following the implementation of departmental restructures.
