Can my application be declined?
Answer
-
Yes, the scheme is discretionary and there will be no obligation on the University to approve an employee’s VSS application. The scheme will operate on the basis of eligible academic employees having a right to apply for Voluntary Severance, but not an automatic right to be granted Voluntary Severance. Voluntary Severance applications will only be approved if certain business criteria are met.

Scheme eligibility criteria and Scheme selection criteria are outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of the VSS Terms respectively.
