HRM.1:4.5 - Choose a feasible combination and make its commitments effective

Compare the remaining options using the relevant contribution, participant outcomes, costs, uncertainty and reversibility. State material conflicts instead of claiming automatic mutual benefit. An employee can reasonably prefer an outside trajectory; the employer can decline a discretionary proposal it cannot supply. A supported bounded arrangement, refusal, formal determination or exit may follow.

Use HRM.5 for particular continuation or transition arrangements and HRM.4 for required consultation, negotiation or contested decisions. Make clear which proposal requires agreement, which requires an authorized determination, and which follows a binding obligation. Obtain the real act and its effective date through the applicable process and ADM. Ensure that OCE and OPS supply the work, access, coverage and conditions on which that act relies. Communicate the resulting terms and how a problem can be raised.
