Redundancy question, job gone to a local company

[CraigNewmarket]

Hi All,

I was informed yesterday that I will be made redundant because of cost saving. But another local company will do my job role both remotely and on site ive not been offered the chance to tupe over?

I'm the only person who does my job.

Thanks in advance for any advice

The other company hasn't 'bought' your company or department so I don't think Tupe applies. It sounds like your company have simply decided that it makes sense to subcontract your role to an external provider, so your role no longer exists.

I'm not a lawyer etc but not sure you have much argument against it

Sorry to hear that OP

I'm no expert, however I'd be wanting to know what the other company were offering, whether the service is like for liike, hours etc. Are they offering your part as something larger.

Do you have any kind of legal advice through home insurance??

You need to know all the facts on their offer I expect first??

You'll need to get legal advice if you want a response you can act on. TUPE is highly complex, the get out for your employer here might be if they are moving from a resource role (i.e. you) to a service role, where the service provider can contractually send anyone to cover the role (even if reality is its the same person each time). Ultimately it's how well each party can argue their position/justify, the final test would be a decision in court.
