Local Government (Early Termination of Employment) (Discretionary Compensation) (England and Wales) Regulations 2006 come into force

Implementation date: 29 November 2006

The Regulations provide a new, simplified framework for the payment of discretionary compensation to persons whose local government employment is terminated on or after 1 October 2006 by reason of redundancy or in the interests of the service of where a joint appointment comes to an end because one of the holders leaves. They revoke the Local Government (Early Termination of Employment) (Discretionary Compensation) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000, but the revocation does not affect any person whose termination date is before 1 October 2006 or the rights of any person who is entitled to benefits under those Regulations in consequence of the death of such a person. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
