It explains how organizations determine the appropriate exit scheme, the tariff and limits based on scheme pension age, restrictions on pay calculations, and required Cabinet Office approvals. The annex also covers discretion, notice periods, pension-related options, re-employment, employer costs, and tax treatment.","Annex 6F Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS)\n2010 guidance for employers\n_________________________________________________________________________\n1.

Early departure terms at a glance\n_________________________________________________________________________\nThere are three categories of early departure under the 2010 terms. They are:\nVoluntary Exit(VE) including Mutually Agreed Exits (MAEs)\nVoluntary Redundancy (VR), and\nCompulsory Redundancy(CR).\nThe main features of the terms are:\nThe decision tree below is intended as a guide to help organisations in determining the most appropriate exit scheme under the 2010 terms:\n2. Voluntary Exit including Mutually Agreed Exits (MAEs)\n_________________________________________________________________________\nVoluntary exits (VEs) can be offered in the interests of workforce efficiency and where employers wish to reduce staff numbers, to support organisational changes, address promotion blockages and where there is limited efficiency. There is no compulsion on individuals to accept the offer; it is an agreement between the employer and employee.\nBroadly, VE may be used in the following ways:\nBulk Voluntary Exit Schemes where the department may open a scheme for a large number of people and invite individuals to apply. These are often used to reduce the size of the workforce.\nAn Individual Voluntary Exit which can be used in individual cases to avoid the need for voluntary or compulsory redundancy at a later stage, where there is the prospect of redundancy on the horizon.\nA Mutually Agreed Exit which is offered to an individual, in the interests of workforce efficiency, to support organisational changes and where there is limited efficiency.\nFor more information on Mutually Agreed Exits, and the circumstances when these may be appropriate, please see \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.civilservicepensionscheme.org.uk/application-for-scheme-approval-form\" \\h \u0014here\u0015.\n2.a Tariff\nThere is a standard tariff of 1 month’s pay per year of service up to a maximum of 21 months’ pay, for those under scheme pension age (see Annex 6H for standard tariff cost estimator).\nThere is a maximum of 6 months’ pay for those over scheme pension age (for transition members who have benefits in the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme and alpha, it is the alpha pension age which applies).\nTapering of compensation will apply where the employee is close to scheme pension age as explained in paragraph 5.i of this document.\nEmployers must apply the restriction on the pay to the highest paid explained in paragraph 5.c of this document.\nThe compensation payment cannot be less than the Statutory Redundancy (SR) payment that would be payable on Redundancy.\n2.b Employer’s discretion\nEmployers can, if they wish, offer more or less than the standard tariff. Cabinet Office approval is required regardless of the level of benefits being offered.\nThe minimum an employer can offer is equal to the amount that would be due under Statutory Redundancy terms.\nThe maximum an employer can offer is twice the standard tariff subject to the limits explained in paragraph 2.a of this document. The approval of the Cabinet Office Minister is required for any tariff above the standard, and employers must provide a clear business case justification if they wish to do this.\nEmployers can waive the 2-year qualifying period or reduce it.\nEmployers may apply the protection for lower paid staff explained in paragraph 5.b of this document.\nEmployers can offer to top up the compensation payment for those with at least 2 years’ service who have reached minimum pension age and wish to take their pension benefits related to current service earl","cbCaif879AdnVngs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif879AdnVngs","docx",1950294,26,"English","en",105,"# Early departure terms\n## Voluntary Exit including Mutually Agreed Exits (MAEs)\n### Tariff\n### Employer’s discretion\n### Cabinet Office approval\n### Employee’s option to receive an unreduced pension on VE","[{\"question\":\"What early departure schemes are covered under the 2010 terms?\",\"answer\":\"The 2010 guidance covers three categories: Voluntary Exit (including Mutually Agreed Exits), Voluntary Redundancy, and Compulsory Redundancy.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the standard tariff calculated for Voluntary Exit?\",\"answer\":\"For those under scheme pension age, the standard tariff is 1 month’s pay per year of service up to a maximum of 21 months’ pay;
