Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf last week revealed plans to axe up to 60 posts in the first round of a voluntary redundancy scheme to be rolled out next year.
It is likely that further voluntary job losses will be required during the next three years. But the minister has today confirmed for the first time that compulsory redundancies could be considered if too few States workers take up the voluntary offer.
The voluntary scheme is being launched as part of the comprehensive spending review, which will slash spending in each States department by ten per cent over the next three years.
