 City to offer nearly 50,000 workers buyouts



City Manager Joe Pennachetti will announce a buyout package for most of the city of Toronto’s workforce as early as Tuesday

It also begs the question in addition to the CASH payout will the x-employee still be entitled to sick day bank, pension entitlement, health benefits, etc. etc. Also where is the buyout $$$ coming from..
