The Conservatives have vowed to cap public sector redundancy pay-offs, if the party wins May's general election.
The party's election manifesto would pledge to introduce legislation to limit payments to £95,000, Treasury minister Priti Patel said.
Taxpayers should not have to fund "huge payouts when well-paid people get made redundant", she said.
Labour said the Tories had already "wasted" more than £1bn on NHS payouts as part of a "reckless reorganisation".
The Conservative proposal follows a number of controversial pay-offs funded by the taxpayer, including some payments of more than £450,000 in the civil service and more than £500,000 in the NHS.

The Conservatives will also consult on extending the cap to the BBC, where there have been controversial pay-offs up to just over £1m.
Staff earning less than £27,000 would be exempt from the cap to protect low-earning, long-serving public servants, the Conservatives said.
'Horse bolted'"It's not right that hard-working taxpayers, many on low salaries, have to fund huge payouts when well-paid people get made redundant," Ms Patel said.
"This goes to the heart of our long-term economic plan for Britain.
"It's about backing hard-working taxpayers and making sure the economy is tilted in their favour; and it's about saving money so we help bring down our deficit and make our economy more financially secure."
However, Labour's shadow health minister, Jamie Reed, said Prime Minister David Cameron "can't get away from the fact that this horse has already bolted".
Mr Cameron had already wasted £1.6bn on redundancy payouts to NHS managers as part of "his reckless reorganisation", he said.
"Frontline NHS staff found it galling that 4,000 managers who received pay-offs are now back in NHS jobs," Mr Reed added.
