Leeds Council slashes 11 jobs in one department
Eleven jobs within a Leeds City Council department are set to be axed as the cash-strapped local authority tries to cut costs.
Put together, cutting the 11 posts will save the council just over £470,000, according to a document outlining the decision on the local authority’s website.A spokesperson for the council said: “This decision only impacts vacant roles, so no existing staff are subject to compulsory redundancy as a consequence of this decision.
The decision has raised questions about the impact on the employees remaining, with trade union reps having asked the council to “ensure retained staff are supported through” the changes, according to the online decision notice. Reps have also requested a “thorough assessment” of any changes in sickness levels following the redundancies.
