New post created and ring fenced

At the moment we are going through redundancy consultation because of a restructure. We have been ring-fenced for one "new" position as our section will now no longer exist.
I did not take the VR option to give me the chance of getting the 3 month redeployee status and if no work of interest comes up taking the CR money which is no different than the VR package offered.
The questions are :-
1) do i have to apply for the ring-fenced position if it is a new position?
2) during the redeployee period do I have to apply for jobs?
3) if I find a job outside my company within the redeployee period am i still entitled to the redundancy if I do not want to see out the time period?
Thanks for listening!!

If the ringfenced job is a suitable alternative they can just select someone to do it.
Same with any jobs if in a redeploy pool.
Depends how the company handle these situations when the realise those in the pool are not trying to get a job.
If you resign no statutory redundancy your place may be more generous.0 -
Is there no guidance on what the redeployed status means? At my place they offer you positions they believe are suitable for you and if you don't apply for them, without good reason, it's gross misconduct and you can be dismissed.
If you hand your notice in you will have resigned and not been made redundant. Not many places will pay you redundancy if they don't have to.Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!0 -
Really? It's gross misconduct? That's novel! And also unfair dismissal!Is there no guidance on what the redeployed status means?

If you hand your notice in you will have resigned and not been made redundant. Not many places will pay you redundancy if they don't have to.
If there is a position that is suitable for a person at risk, the employer must offer it, unless there are more people at risk than there are jobs, in which case they can hold a selection process. Refusal to apply may be deemed as failure to cooperate, and lead to the refusal to pay redundancy pay. But in no world is it gross misconduct. An employer doing that is an idiot - it would be unfair dismissal, when they can legitimately withhold redundancy pay anyway.0
