Approval under the scheme of delegated authority by the Assistant Director, People & Organisational Development for a severance payment of £2,000, with an additional £750.00 to support with legal costs to a member of staff to end their employment. Employee A has been employed by the Council since November 1989.   Having reviewed the situation and looked at the costs/benefits the Joint Assistant Director for People & OD has decided a severance payment to settle this matter is beneficial to the Council.  The value of the Settlement Agreement is £2,000.00 with an additional £750.00 to support with legal costs. The £2,000.00 is not subject to tax or national insurance contributions.  The settlement payment of £2,000.00 does not include pay in lieu of notice.   Not to settle with Employee A.  This would have left the Council exposed to a potential claim at an Employment Tribunal. Employee A would have remained employed and underperforming with an impact on the quality of service delivery.   None
