Suitable alternative job
offers
If your employer intends to make you redundant, they must consider whether there are other jobs available which you would be capable of doing.
If a suitable job is available, your employer should offer it to you instead of making you redundant.
If a suitable job is available, but your employer fails to offer it to you without a good reason, this could mean that you have been automatically unfairly dismissed and you can make a claim to an employment tribunal.
Whether the alternative job that your employer offers you is suitable will depend on a number of things. These include:
The offer of alternative employment must be made before your current job ends. The offer can be made in writing or verbally. You must be given enough details about the new job so you know what the difference is between this one and your current job.
If you refuse an alternative job offer
If your employer offers you a suitable alternative job and you turn it down without a good reason, you may lose any right you may have to statutory redundancy pay
You and your employer may disagree about whether a job is suitable or whether your refusal is unreasonable. If this is the case, you can ask an employment tribunal to decide whether you are entitled to redundancy pay.
Trying out an alternative job
If you’re considering the offer of an alternative job with your employer, you have a right to try out the job before you decide whether or not to take it.
You can work in the new job for a trial period of four weeks. The trial period will start immediately after your previous job ended.
If you decide the new job isn't suitable, you can give notice during the trial period without affecting any right you might have to statutory redundancy pay. If you haven't given notice by the end of the trial period, your right to redundancy pay ends.
Your employer may offer you a number of alternative jobs. Each offer must give you enough details about the job about the new job so you know what the difference is between this one and your current job.
You are entitled to a trial period in each job if you want it.
