As we build for this future it is clear we will need fewer people in certain groups. We are therefore announcing a Voluntary Redundancy Programme for Selected Groups to match that need with the desires of individuals to leave the Company in a supported way. This Programme must be balanced by retaining employees in critical areas where reductions are not appropriate for business reasons. Not all businesses and all people in those businesses will be eligible for this Programme. The final decision as to who can leave will remain the Company's. However, it is our intent to open the process up to as many employees as business conditions allow so that you may make the personal choice as to what is best for you, your family and your future. The details of the Programme are attached. Your individual business manager will make your eligibility clear to you in the next few days in writing. I hope you will give careful consideration to this mutually beneficial programme. If you are interested (and in an eligible group), please apply immediately for further information to help you make the best decision. Your indication of interest at this stage does not in any way commit you or Digital to a final decision, but it does enable us to prepare the relevant financial information for you.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR THE VOLUNTARY PACKAGE? Eligibility: Not all groups/business or functions are eligible to participate in this programme.

good luck UK. I don't think we will see this in the US of A anytime soon. Like can you say NEVER. Given such a plan in the US of A would make more than enough numbers out the door. IMHO. You all locally on the East Coast seen what is happening with Virginia Power and the early retirement program they were conducting? Well it has been VERY successful.

3322.8 | why *not* in the U.S.?? | AZTECH::RANCE | Fri Aug 12 1994 13:57 | 17 | |
right, it specifically said that since this is employee initiated, no payments are to be made for accrued vacation. why it being employee initiated matters in terms of whether one is paid for accrued vacation is a mystery to me but it is a good deal, anyhow. just apply for the package and use all vacation in the meantime. also, i wonder why this would not bee offered in the U.S. it would help morale and by virtue of the management veto clause, skills and/or personnel deemed critical can be refused the package. this seems like a simply win-win as someone else pointed out. it would also enable the company to get the 'right-sizing' done very expeditiously, i would think. mark | |||||

Yeah but... applying the UK package to the U.S., I'd get 6 months' pay. I'd guess that the difference between 6 months' pay and 10 weeks' pay is considerably more than 10 weeks' COBRA coverage. | |||||

3322.19 | Why volunteer for a reduced package? | FUTURS::JENKINS | Norfolk enchance | Mon Aug 15 1994 17:09 | 9 |
It's worth pointing out that the current contractual UK package is 3 months + notice + hols + 1 month per year of service. Much as it may not seem so in the US, this is an attempt to get rid of people on the cheap. Richard. | |||||
3322.20 | They're kidding , right? | ELMAGO::PUSSERY | Mon Aug 15 1994 17:52 | 10 | |
Exactly correct on both counts Richard. It is an attempt at "cheap". But compared to my package consisting of 11 WEEKS pay for seven years "continuous" service (forget the five before) I'd volunteer for your deal faster than a speeding bullet. Pablo | |||||

Can someone in the U.K. explain why the voluntary package doesn't include pay for accrued vacation time? For most people there would not be enough time between being approved for the package and the last day (Sept. 30) to use up all the accrued time. And one would not want to use up too much time before being approved, in case he/she is NOT approved and stays on for a while. Do people in the U.K. who resign in the usual way get paid for accrued vaca- tion time? | |||||

And one would not want to use up too much time before >being approved, in case he/she is NOT approved and stays on for a while. I would think few people have a full 26 days ( I think that is the normal annual maximum here) of accrued holiday left by the end of September. I don't know why it doesn't include it as a separate item; presumably to reduce the cost, by lumping it all in with the final payoff. The whole scheme will, I think, mainly act as an incentive to go for those who were thinking of jumping ship anyway, but were just hanging on in the hope of getting a decent package. If I was already considering leaving, and had something else lined up, or at least in the pipeline, outside DEC I would take it if I could (we're not eligible anyway, a colleague has already asked). As I haven't, I won't; but perhaps I should brush up my resume. > Do people in the U.K. who resign in the usual way get paid for accrued vaca- >tion time? Normally, yes. Ken | |||||

.20 "I'd volunteer for your deal faster than a speeding bullet." Ah, but consider this... For the last four years the _compulsory_ package has been 3 months notice, plus 3 months, plus vacation, plus 1 month per year. A package which I would grant is in the 'fair to good' range of schemes in use by companies in the UK. Now they come along with a package for volunteers which falls back to 1 month per year. With the added 'benefit' that if you go voluntarily there is no state unemployment benefit to collect. In addition there's no guarantee that a particular person will be accepted as a volunteer - management have retained a veto over volunteers. The only people to whom this might appeal are those who are considering going without a package. .21 If you resign, without the package, you get paid for unused vacation. I believe that it's to a maximum of one year's accrual plus 5 days carried over from the previous year. | |||||

Actually, in the earlier rounds, they gave out an extra 3 months 'incentive to volunteer' for 'compulsory' redundancy. And being 'compulsory' we were entitled to Dole handouts quicker than if we'd volunteered(?). That's in addition to details in .23 - AND it was all tax free - so for 2.5 years service I got over a years' worth of pay....a damn good deal by anyone's standards, but as Robert the Zimmerframe reminds us, 'the times they are'a changing.'

Scusi, but as a lowly humble gravel scratcher I was never in any smelling distance of 30 grand, (jeez what a dream?!!!) Me I was happy with my humble 15 grand, after only 2.5 years... Good point though, lots of folk especially the more senior ones, probably came out with enough to go into business, say, sub-contracting to, say, Digital, doing exactly what they did before, but for more cash.

TO quote Life of Brian, "lucky, luck b......s" No, really, my petty sum paid off the credit cards, paid our passages, paid for our belongings to be shipped, and basically helped us trade a cold and dismal country led by an exceedingly GREY spitting image, for a (ooops it's winter here) GENERALLY sunny, warm country with the beach, the mountains, the forests, and hey a LIFESTYLE, led by a cool guy who dances, publicly, wears groovy shirts and is altogether more awake.... So, for 100K we could have retired out here!! but what did those people do with their money? Did they change their lives??? Probably banked it against unemployment and the rising cost of keeping Fascists in power oooops I mean the rising cost of heating. Oh well, enough of this, good luck to those who have taken it and done something with it, and very very good luck to those yet to enjoy(?)

The 'normal' package in use in the UK of 3 months + 1 month per year plus holidays, still remains in force for those who are made compulsorily redundant (legally it has to). Therefore if you sit tight, don't volunteer, its a 25% chance you will get made redundant anyway. The company has to lose 25% of its total workforce, so if no-one volunteers, 25% of us will go anyway on a much better, legally bound package. Don't be bonkers, do nothing. Unless of course yu have been with the company a hundred years and your salary is so high you won't miss 3 months money in your pay-off. Stuart | |||||

Either take 20,000/90,000 (worldwide) or using the Powell target figure of 250 less in UK DC = 250/1300. The 1300 is apparently the UKDC population but not confirmed. CW |
