Tupe and redundacy

simpav

Thank you for your responses.

Yes Bigcammy your interpretation is correct. Basically a whole area of the business was offshored for no other reason than to save money.

I now believe that the offshore person is still in the UK, doing the job.

The question is at what point ca I say that he role was never redundant as the company could say that they are still training the person. Is it a day after my leaving date, a week after......

Which country did the worker come from that will be taking over the role and did they need visas?

Were you offered the job in the new location.

I think what the OP means is that the company intended sending the work overseas. An overseas employee was brought to the UK to learn the job before returning to his/her original country to carry on the work he has just learnt. In this case, it sounds like the overseas employee is now staying in the UK to carry out this work, meaning that the OP has effectively been replaced in the UK by the overseas employee instead of his work being offshored.

Am I correct in my interpretation.

In this case, I reckon the OP has a case because he was losing his job due to offshoring, but that never happened and he's simply been replaced.

Yes, that was my understanding. My post was intended to suggest that it was not an acceptable "other substantial reason" for the dismissal which had occurred. If the job does go abroad, it is redundancy, not "other substantial reason" which someone had suggested.

I also wondered about the working visa possibility which has also been raised.
