Yes. Eligible employees can waive their Fair Deal protection if they wish. However, if they choose to do this they will permanently lose their entitlement to Fair Deal protection.
As an employer, you must consult with your employee, their trade union or staff representative before they sign an agreement to waive their protection under New Fair Deal.
A copy of the signed waiver form, alongside the new Request for Services form should be sent to the Scheme Administrator (MyCSP).
A copy of the signed waiver form and a completed copy of Schedule 4 of the Admission Agreement should be sent to the Scheme Manager (Cabinet Office).
