This is the fifth episode of a mini series on redundancy in which I will focus on all aspects of redundancy and how to ensure you get things right.
In this episode I will cover:
Why you need to consider alternative vacancies within your organisation
The legal obligation upon you to inform ‘redundant’ employees
When you need to search for group company vacancies
What you need to do if two or more employees apply for an alternative vacancy
Why you must give priority to employees who are on maternity leave
Trial periods for alternative employment
When it will be reasonable or not for an employee to refuse an offer of a suitable alternative vacancy
Action Points
Ensure that you have a mechanism in place for informing employees of internal vacancies within your business.
Seek advice if you are unsure of the procedure.
