Furlough, Job relocation, redundancy mess

spb29

So I'm Furloughed until may 31st. But had a meeting today (30th April) informing the business is moving 80 miles away. I've been asked to come off Furlough to help with re location finish off jobs, empty the building etc.  If i don't wont to relocate i will be made redundant .  I've been employed for a little over 2 years and I'm 45 so have what i'm entitled to covered. Just unsure of what to do and in what order. 
Thanks S

 If they want you of furlough, you have no real choice as it is optional for the company.  How long have you been furloughed for? Has it been 3 weeks yet or not?

As you have said they want you to move to a different location or they will make you redundant I think you have to decide if you want to move or not. That is a lot of traveling a day, but I guess it depends if the job is worth it or not plenty of people travel a long way.  Only you can decide that.

As you have been employed for two years you have a few rights but not enough for them not to be able to make you redundant if you refuse to move to the new location.

Although the traveling may be a killer in the current climate it might be worth doing until you can find another job, obviously depending on what you do.

Decide what you want to do in the immediate future: relocate/commute long distance or be made redundant?
