Why does the revised MPSS use the term Targeted Voluntary Employment Separation?

The revised MPSS uses the term Targeted Voluntary Employment Separation instead of Targeted Negotiated Voluntary Redundancy (TNVR). This reflects that payments made under these arrangements are treated as Employment Termination Payments (ETPs) for taxation purposes rather than Genuine Redundancy Payments (GRPs).

Existing TNVR processes can continue under the revised MPSS. References to TNVRs or TNVR programs in these FAQs include existing processes being progressed under the revised MPSS.
