Voluntary Retirement
Voluntary Retirement (VRS) is a scheme under which employees opt for early separation from service, typically with enhanced benefits such as an ex-gratia payment or pension bridge. In India, VRS is governed by the Industrial Disputes Act and specific rules for the sector, commonly used during downsizing or organisational restructuring. HR must ensure the scheme is voluntary, non-coercive, and fairly administered.
