Redundancy Help

geordiepip

Hi,

My department is going through a restructure at present and am concerned with regards what might happen.

New roles were advertised (with different job titles etc) but there was only 1 position at the same grade as me, where 3 people currently all do this.

I didnt want to apply for the role as I dont want to be in the department any more and wanted a change - probably outside of the company.

Am I right in thinking that as the new role advertised has a different title and job spec, that my current role is officially 'redundant' and that I would have to be offered redundancy at some stage?

I feel that the company will try to force me into a different role which I dont want to do. The background about my grade etc is that within my role there are 4 levels, 1,2,3 & 4, of which I am a 4. All of the levels have a different salary and role specification. I have previously completed role 3 (but this was over 4-5 years ago and this role has changed since then). There are no other roles with a level 4 within the company.

Basically I feel they will present one of these roles to me - can i reject it and go forward for redundancy?

I am very nervous about this whole situation and would welcome some advice on how to play this!!

Thanks

Think your best bet is to call the CAB to get expert advice.
