Hello, I'm keen to double check what I think I am allowed to do, would really appreciate any confirmation or otherwise!
I'm currently on maternity leave, and my job has disappeared in a restructure. Two roles have been created at the level of seniority I was at (reporting in to my current line manager), and I have not been given either of these roles. I don't think there's a reg 10 case for either of those roles - one is quite different to my old role, and the new role that was closest to mine has been given to someone also on mat leave.
So, they have said they want to keep me, and would like me to take a role reporting into the role taken by the other person on mat leave. I think they have done their best to boost the level of responsibility of the role they want me to take, and have said they will protect my salary and grade, but to my mind there's no getting away from the fact that it is a demotion, one step further down the hierarchy. Many of my old role responsibilities have been put in this role, albeit with an extra level of supervision - they seem to be designing it with me specifically in mind - plus some other bits that I didn't do before.
I think that as it is acknowledged by all that my old job has disappeared, it is up to me to say if I want this job or whether I would like to take redundancy, and if I want to take redundancy they have to give it to me? Is this correct? I have sort of been offered a job elsewhere, so am considering my options.
