Reductions in Force: Local Government Cases

Managing Human Resources: Local Government Cases: Reductions In Force deals with the problem of employee dismissals in a local government because of the need to achieve a reduction in force (RIF).

This e-book demonstrates that such RIFs pose major managerial challenges, not the least of which is the difficulty for all the decision makers involved-the elected council, the manager, and the department heads-of having to decide what services get cut and which employees are terminated.
