Temporary departmental move? Check your payroll

In the event that you volunteer for a temporary move to another department due to Brexit, please ensure that you remain on the payroll for your home department.
We have had some cases from members who are now unable to access the childcare voucher scheme after their payroll has moved, due to the scheme now being closed to new applicants.
As the Cabinet Office is yet to provide civil service-wide guidance on this issue, for safety please check with your department to ensure that you will remain on the same payroll for any temporary move.
If you are having any issues in this area, please contact your National Officer.
