No. 68 The Local Government Reorganisation (Compensation for Loss of Employment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015
These Regulations come into operation on 1/4/15 and the purpose of the Regulations is to provide new councils with the mechanism in which to compensate those persons who suffer loss of employment due to local government reorganisation.
The Compensation Scheme that these Regulations will enable has already been negotiated and agreed by both local government management and trade unions through the Local Government Reform Joint Forum (LGRJF), the formal mechanism established by the Department to facilitate consultation and negotiation between Employer and Employee representatives on a range of Human Resource issues relating to the reform of local government, that are cross-sectoral in nature.
