Staff transfers - Redundancy and injury benefits

Some redundancy and injury benefits take the form of early retirement pensions or lump sums which are similar to the pension scheme benefits and are paid through similar channels.

The Cabinet Office has issued guidance on these benefits stressing that it is imperative that any public contract resulting in the transfer of staff stipulates clearly that all redundancy benefits and options are taken on by the new employer.
