A VOLUNTARY severance package offered by the States is 'spectacularly generous' and superior to anything workers in the private sector could expect, business leaders have said.

And unions have admitted that neither they, nor their members, have any idea what the Policy Council is trying to achieve through its offer.

Representatives of various workforce groups insist that they remain in the dark over the targets of the severance programme and where savings are expected.

Chamber of Commerce president Rupert Dorey, pictured, described the package as spectacularly generous.
