Outsourcing & Redundancy

Hi,
I just wanted to ask if my role is now going to be outsourced to multiple external suppliers does that give my employer a reason to make me redundant even though my role technically still exists?

Thanks

Well it depends, what does the verbal/written communication say?
The role may exist if it is outsourced, but it does not exist on the businesses' headcount or FTE. It exists as part of a contractual agreement for another business to supply the role.

Check if TUPE should apply.

I think 'multiple' could be the key word here - it suggests that the OPs role is being broken up into components that are going to be managed by different outsourced providers - not uncommon if you have a complex/composite job that you want done cheaper elsewhere.

if that is the case, then the OPs role is likely to be genuinely redundant..

Outsourcing suggests it's just not your role that's impacted.
