Person A is on ML. (She does not currently report to me.) Her job had 2 aspects to it, B&C. Temp has been brought in to cover part B only; part C is now under a different manager.
Boss is more impressed with Temp than with A, and has now asked me to create a post in my team for A to take up on her return.
Boss is aware of A's right to return to same-grade post. Boss can see her in a new role which I also think she could do well in, as she has appropriate personal qualities. A would retain her grading, but the post itself would be less prestigious (and would normally be lower grade than A is on). It could however be carried out PT, and Boss is speculating that A will want to work PT rather than FT!
Alternatively, we could combine the less-prestigious post with part C of her original post, but only if the other manager agrees. A would then report to 2 different managers.
The other complication is that we probably need someone in the new role before A returns.
Any advice on trying to sell the less-prestigious cut-and-shut post to A? Has anyone successfully (ie legally) negotiated this minefield and managed to keep everybody happy?
We have an HR dept but I don't want to approach them yet.
