Public Sector Exit payments
Tower Hamlets Council has approved a new pay policy, including a revised approach to re-employment after redundancy payments.
Tower Hamlets Council approved its pay policy statement for the 2026/27 financial year in March 2026. This policy details remuneration for its directly employed workforce, setting out the council's approach to pay for Chief Officers, the lowest paid employees, and the relationship between senior and other staff pay. A key aspect of the policy is a revised approach to the re-employment of former employees who have received redundancy payments.
No further council discussions or decisions on public sector exit payments are currently scheduled. Public sector exit payments are payments made to public sector employees upon leaving their employment, and the Tower Hamlets policy specifically addresses the re-employment of individuals who have received redundancy payments.
