Will applying for Voluntary Severance affect my career if the University knows I have requested to leave, and it doesn’t get approved?
Answer
-
No. This is an entirely confidential process; no account will be taken of any application received and/or subsequently declined by the University as part of any other process relating to your employment and/or career. All applications will also be managed in confidence and in line with the University’s data protection policy.

If a voluntary severance application is not approved by the University, this has no bearing on future potential organisational or workforce changes and an unsuccessful application will not prejudice an individual’s employment or employment rights in any way.
