# The Restriction of Public Sector Exit Payments Regulations 2020, Regulation 7: Prohibition on reduction of statutory redundancy pay or equivalent


(1) A relevant authority must not reduce the amount of a relevant redundancy payment in respect of a relevant public sector exit.
(2) Accordingly, if–
(a) a person is entitled to a relevant redundancy payment and one or more other exit payments in respect of a relevant public sector exit; and
(b) the total amount of the exit payments in respect of the exit would exceed the exit payment cap,
the relevant authority must reduce the amount of one or more of the other exit payments.
(3) Where this regulation applies, a payment of a relevant redundancy payment by a relevant authority may cause the total amount of exit payments payable to the person to exceed the exit payment cap, but only if all other exit payments by the relevant authority to which the person would, but for these Regulations, have been entitled to have been reduced to zero.
