Redundancy Possibly Being Removed

Hi,
I am due to go on gardening leave quite soon, however, following a meeting with my manager today, this could be halted. To my shock, I was advised that a member of the team had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. The team is now shorthanded and I could be asked to plug the gap. This has not been confirmed but my manager advised that I should prepare myself.
Is this allowed? I was notified of the redundancy in February, the termination date is mid-June but I am paid until the 10th of July. Today I was advised that the redundancy can be removed at any point up until July 10th.
Thanks in advance

There's no reason why you shouldn't work your notice period.0

Why would wishing to retain an employee rather than make them redundant not be allowed?? Most people under threat of redundancy would be delighted to have the threat removed.

They can't make you stay, but if they ask you to stay and you say no they don't need to pay redundancy. I believe the idea is to reduce redundancy where possible.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

So the simple answer is yes they are allowed to withdraw the redundancy offer right up until the termination date.0

From acas;
If your employer withdraws your notice
Once your employer has given you notice of redundancy, including the date your employment will end, they cannot withdraw it unless you agree.

And I just checked... you might have included the next bit where it says you wouldn't be entitled to redundancy pay! So you can insist on leaving. You just leave with nothing.6
