voluntary redundancy

[mailworker 2000]

i am currently interested in taking voluntary redundancy. On of the staff did a one to one interview basis to check if im still interested and i said yes. I had asked that if my previous service years would be included as i started in 2000 and left in 2006 due to family problems and restarted in 2007, now i got a quote which i belive is 4 years service and had not include my previous 6 years, and was told i would get another quote in 10 days. could you tell me would the redundancy include your previous years

If you left, I very much doubt it would include previous years.

when i had the one to one interview with the staff who deal with voluntary redundancy i was told that my previous service years would be included

Previous permanent service does count for VR purposes, unless you had a VR payment when you originally left:

MTSF states:

"Aggregate Service" means the employee's continuous service at the date of termination of his/her
employment, plus any previous periods of permanent service for Royal Mail Group Ltd (and prior to 20
March 2007 Royal Mail Group plc, and prior to 4 November 2002, Consignia plc, and prior to 26
March 2001, The Post Office). It will not include any time worked in a casual capacity or any previous
period of service upon the termination of which the employee received a redundancy or other sevcrance
payment or any period spent on a career break (including any periods worked). For the avoidance of
doubt, periods spent on maternity leave, whether statutory or contractual and whether paid or unpaid
and periods of employment prior to age 18 will count towards an employee's Aggregate Service."
