IS IT LEGAL I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD THEN BE REDEPLOYED WITHIN LOCAL AUTHOURITY TO FIND EQUIVALENT FULL TIME JOB WITH SAME SERVICE BACKGROUND BUT THEN IF NOT SUCCESSFUL AFTER 3 MONTHS WOULD BE GIVEN REDUNDANCY TERMS. THIS IS LOCAL AUTHORITY EMPLOYER SURELY THIS CAN NOT BE LEGAL ESPECIALLY AS WHAT WE WERE VERBALLY ASSURRED(WITNESES AND HR PEOPLE WITHIN SAME MEETING) I AM NOW BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT INFORMATION/OPTION PLEASE ADVISE URGENTLY

Look at redundancy rules - you have been there longer than two years - your employer MUST seek to redeploy you in a role which is NOT to your disadvantage, and, MORE IMPORTANTLY must prove that they have done so!

Take serious advice NOW!!!

You should be in a union who can give you correct advice.

Have a look at the dti website and find out your rights. http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/employm...

talk to ACAS or go to their website

Speak to ACAS they will give you impartial advise. But if you have a union then speak to them. they have to fight your corner

if you ask me it sounds like your getting a good deal.
they are offering to try and find you a job, but if they cant or if you don't get any of the jobs you apply for you will get your redundancy, just make sure you get it in writing, don't take any ones word for it ask for it in writing so you can understand it.
best of luck i hope you find a new job

Ask your Union Representative. That's what you pay your union fees for. I'm sure the Local Authority has already looked at any loopholes to make sure they can do this, but I would still give them a run for their money and get the Union in on this. Can't understand why the Union hasn't stepped in already.
