Redunancy legalities
Discussion
Hi, I'm asking this question on behalf of the admin staff at the office where I work as it seems wrong to me what has happened to them. It certainly doesn't seem right morally, but I'm not even convinced it's legal.
In a nutshell, 10 admin staff have been made redundant and told they can re-apply for similar jobs but there are only 6 jobs on offer. They all have a 1 month notice period, and were only given this information last week. By tomorrow, they have to hand in a form indicating whether they'd like to apply for one of the jobs or take redunandcy.
The redunandancy package has not been discussed, nor will it be unless the staff member actually indicates on the form that she wants to take redundancy.
How can anyone decide that the redundancy is a real alternative without knowing what it is? Surely this can't be legal?
Any advice greatly appreciated. I feel so annoyed about this even though luckily my job isn't on the line here.
Cheers,
Boon
