2)Investigate if there are any members affected by continuity of service issues, would staff changing employment to other local government employers or other employers who are covered by “The Redundancy Payments (Continuity of Employment in Local Government, etc) (Modification) Order 1999.” The SGE should also issue support and guidance for branches on this issue.
