Urgent advice unfair Redundancy process

[Lookingdownthebarrell]

Hi, I was notified of at risk status a few weeks ago and I have actively consulted. Last week it has come to light that:

1. the first rationale for redundancy of my role was not
   applied consistently in the department;

2. because of what I said they are reinstating my role but moving to overseas rationale being my type of role needs to be in home country of multinational org - this is not being applied consistency in my department either, let alone the rest of the firm and nothing has been said my company senior management about moving roles to home country and there are thousands of people in the country;

3. they reinstated my role and combined it with a new role and won’t give it to me but what to give it to someone else. That persons old job role was split in two very recently and one part of their role is what my role is being combined with - this part of their role would not exist if they applied the rationale 1 used to terminate my role. The other part of their role needs this persons leadership. This person is a level below me and the level of the new role is my level.

It seems to me they are not making accommodations to keep me. Company is not in financial distress. And the redundancy is not fairly applied.
Any lawyers / HR folks here who can help me?

Hi @Lookingdownthebarrell Hope everything is going ok. Just wondered how things were going now and if you managed to challenge the employer and get any legal advice?

@errBeavis
I spoke to a few lawyers and talked them through my scenario on the free call so it’s not really legal advice. Response was consistent that looks like process seems to not have been consistently applied and there’s explaining to do on why they chose to move me out.

I asked to stay on the books as long as possible so won’t see their offer until I roll off. Advice from the lawyers is to wait for their offer and if it’s the standard then counter offer with list of questions to avoid going to tribunal.

thanks for the update. I’m just thinking if ACAS early conciliation is worth mentioning now or soon to the employer as this will show that things could head to tribunal and that you are considering that option so settlement agreement needs to reflect this if this is to be avoided. Apparently there is a 5 week wait for conciliation though. If employer has got poor rationale then they wouldn’t want this to be aired at tribunal surely
