I was put on redeployment and no alternative jobs were found so I was given notice of redundancy. I was meant to leave in a few days.
Prior to this but unrelated to the redeployment I was told I was not capable of doing my job. No capability procedures had been started but the org has accepted this was the case and there is apparently lots of evidence of this.
I've now been offered an alternative job which the org feels is a suitable alternative. It's a very similar job on paper but at a higher grade. I would never and have never applied for a job at that grade internally or externally. They are saying because I'll be on a trial as per policy, it doesn't matter what the grade is and that it might come down anyway.
My questions are:
- Is the grade difference enough to say it's not suitable? Especially as they said I couldn't do it at a lower grade.
- Does this "pause the clock" regarding my leave date? Even if I refuse will it affect my leave date?
