Alternative Job and Trial Period

pault_tm

Hi,
Was wondering if anyone could help me here?
I was given 90 days notice that my role was being made redundant, this was due to end on the 18th June and I would have received an enhanced severance package.
During the 90 day consultation, I was given training for an alternative role which involved a lot of training and assumed this would secure a move to a new role.
The new role was a lot different daily however hours/terms remained the same, but was a total change of enviroment to what I was doing.
I was doing the job for a couple weeks and then the job that I was doing was advertised and I needed to apply and be succesful to remain employed otherwise my redundancy would have taken affect.
On 15th June I was advised I was sucessful and started the new role. Since then I have not been happy with the change of role and as I have since learned, I could have 4 weeks Trial and if it wasn't suitable I could take the redundancy offered.
I informed my manager and HR about this and since they have been told, they are refusing to acknowledge the trial period and insist I am not entitled to my package.
My questions are

1. Does the 4 week trial period only apply to alternative vacancies they offer me? Or does it account for a job I was doing but needed to apply for
2. The 4 week trial is due to end, if they refuse my redundancy what should I do? I am under the impression if I remain in the role over 4 weeks it's deemed to be accepting the role. Should I resign and take them to a ET?

Any help/advise appreciated as soon as possible

Tbh I dont think any 4 week trial applies here as you applied and accepted the position based on it being entirely different.

I think the above would only be relevant if they forced you to do a job rather than making you redundant and it was not a comparable job/reasonable change in terms.

Thanks for the swift reply.

Does anyone else have an opinion?

Or is there some legislation/document I could read on this situation?

Thanks
